2017 Australian Dressage Championships to go to Victoria

The Australian Dressage Committee (ADC) has today announced that the 2017 Australian Dressage Championships will be hosted by Boneo Park in Victoria next October.

The decision took in to account many factors including horse welfare and quality of facilities. As the pinnacle event in the Australian Dressage calendar the ADC acknowledges the Championship venue should reflect the prestige of the event.

One key factor which influenced the ADC in making its decision was the availability of suitable and consistent surfaces for all competitors.

Mary Seefried, Chair of ADC said " the welfare of our horses whether competing at Novice or Grand Prix level is vital.  Top competition surfaces are essential to preserve the health of our horses and also to allow the sport to develop to its highest level.”

This decision is for the 2017 Australian Dressage Championships only. The ADC continues to welcome and encourage new and existing venues to apply to conduct the Australian Dressage Championships in the future.

Boneo Park is located on Victoria’s picturesque Mornington Peninsula set on over 850 acres with state of the art, world class, facilities including geo-tech surfaces. For more information on Boneo Park please visit their website here.
