The Thinline Dressage with Altitude International Organising Committee are excited to announce that once again a quality field of entries has been received for this unique European style CDI 3* boutique event at Bradgate Park, Orange in Australia on 13 - 16 February 2014.
Top Grand Prix combinations include Rozzie Ryan (GV Bullwinkle), Heath (Regardez Moi and son Utopian Cardinal), Caroline Wagner (Tango V), Sue Hearn (Remmington), Kerry Mack (Mayfield Pzazz) and crowd pleaser Jeremy Janjic (Django of Cacharel). It is exciting to welcome newcomers to the Grand Prix level including Brett Parbery on DP Weltmieser and Tor Van den Berge aboard the imported stallion Lauries AS. The Prix St George field is strong with 2013 Australian PSG Champion Janina Kletke (Bluefields Floreno) being one of the hot favourites.
Young Riders are set to impress with entrants in the CDI-Under 25 including Alexis Hellyer on the ever improving Waca W and local rider Megan Bryant on the wonderful Northern Xanthus III. Another to watch in the CDI-Y is Victoria Stuckey and Mayfield Be Brave.
In addition to outstanding competition an all new trade village will exist for those wishing to do some serious shopping at the event.
DWA has become renowned for presenting a social side to the event and 2014 will not disappoint those attending.
Friday night not to be missed: with ‘Connect to Dressage’ an hour with 3 of Australia’s most highly regarded dressage competitors and trainers; Brett Parbery, Tor Van den Berge and David Shoobridge. This will be followed by the greatly anticipated 2014 DWA Canine Calcutta Fundraiser.
