Dressage SA State Dressage Squads

Dressage SA - State Dressage Squads

Purpose 

The purpose of selecting Dressage South Australia (DSA) Squads is to identify combinations that show the best performance at high level competition in South Australia.  Ideally, these combinations will have potential to be successful competitors at events with a larger competition base than seen in South Australia, ie interstate and national events.  Selection in the DSA Squads will lead to support from DSA to assist with further development of potential and where possible, support for travel to interstate competitions.
