Lindy Wright Memorial Award

This award was initiated by the ‘Committee of the Lindy Wright Memorial Foundation’ and awarded to a person who is a current or past rider in dressage, who is giving back to the sport in South Australia by participating as a volunteer, organizer, committee member, judge, or in some other way.

This person has the qualities of a quiet achiever striving for excellence, who demonstrates exemplary sportsmanship, horsemanship and inspiration, sharing their knowledge, working as a volunteer and serving as a role model for others in the sport.

Nominations may be made by an individual, by Clubs or Committees. All nominations will be treated in the strictest confidence, & the LWMF Committee’s decision will be final.

Lindy was a wonderful rider and horsewoman, winning many South Australian and National Dressage Championships. She represented South Australia on many occasions and always shone. Lindy was genuine, talented and focused. She gave so many riders something to aspire to and always gave it her best. Lindy sadly lost her battle with leukaemia on Friday, 16^th October 2009.

The Award has been made each year since 2010 and was presented at the Adelaide Hills Dressage Club Spring Festival in October. From 2025 onwards, it will be presented at the 'Celebration of Dressage' held in July.
