2025 SA Para Equestrian Festival - A Huge Success!

The first South Australian Para Festival was a huge success from start to finish. We have so many people to thank for helping make this remarkable day happen for our para athletes.

 

Big thank you to Adelaide Hills Dressage Club for allowing us to have this competition at your grounds in conjunction with your event. Your help and understanding both leading up to and on the day of the event was fantastic. You allowed a safe and inclusive competition environment and we appreciate it so much.

 

To our sponsors. Your generosity and support was amazing and it’s great to see sponsors returning and new ones stepping in. Thank you so much to the following sponsors for your support.

Also thank you to our volunteers. Nothing was too much to ask. You are a vital part of making this happen.

 

This is the first big para dressage competition that has been run since our new committee was formed earlier in the year. There has been hours of planning and dedication involved. Congratulations and thank you for your commitment to Para sport in our state.

It was amazing to see how everyone worked so well together. It was wonderful feeling. From help at the floats with mounting and grooming to everyone on the grounds clapping and celebrating during presentations. We can not express how this feels for our riders and look forward to joining you all again.

 

A special Congratulations to our 2 Championship Winners on the Day:
