FRIDAY 30th March - SUNDAY 1st April, 2018

The Camp

The Dressage Unravelled Training Camp is targeted at adult riders who are keen to develop their dressage skills in a fun and collegiate atmosphere. All levels of riders are welcome.

The committee behind this camp is made up of Novice riders to Grand Prix riders and coaches. We are all excited about being able to bring Dressage Unravelled to you.

Our goal is to create an event where we can all learn while having a great time with like-minded dressage enthusiasts; people who are new to the sport, experienced competitors looking to gain that extra mark and everyone in between.  And, of course, our wonderful horses. The camp runs for 3 days – Friday to Sunday.  If you are travelling some distance or want to avoid the Easter traffic you may like to come early or stay later. 

If there is anything you need to know that isn’t contained in our documentation please email us on info@dressageunravelled.com.au.  We would be happy to assist with your enquiry. 

The Coaches

This camp has been founded on a belief that all dressage riders should have access to top quality coaching. We have been fortunate to engage a panel of coaches who share the same belief.

Participants will have access to an expert panel of dressage coaches.  in 2018 we welcome:

  • Maree Tomkinson
  • Rozzie Ryan
  • Gary Lung
  • Linda Schmerglatt
  • Sharyn Ross
  • Lea Bierman

Once again we have a panel of coaches who have successfully trained horses from youngsters to Grand Prix level. They not only understand the issues you can have at different levels but also how to train the building blocks that help you get to the next level.
