Organisers of the 2015 event are extremely excited to welcome Birds Equisports as their naming rights sponsor.

Birds Equisports is a wholly owned and operated Australian Company retailing superior products and labels for both the horse and the rider www.birds-equisports.com
2015 will mark the 7th running of Dressage with Altitude International Event hosted at the outstanding Bradgate Park property on the outskirts of Orange, NSW from February 19 to 22, 2015. Incorporating CDI3*, CDI-Y, National Grand Prix, Medium Tour, Novice and Advanced competitions, this event promises to be one of the best DWA events held to date.
DWA will again showcase to the world the depth of talent our growing dressage scene offers with leading Australian Riders expressing their intention to attend the event including World Equestrian Games Australian representatives Mary Hanna and Maree Tomkinson (Vic), 2014 National and Equitana Equestrian Grand Final champion Heath Ryan (NSW), 2014 DWA Grand Prix Freestyle champion Caroline Wagner (Vic), up and coming Grand Prix combination Sue Hearn (NSW) and Remington plus a host of other Australian dressage elite and rising stars.
With a highly regarded judging panel in place including 5* Susie Hoevenaars (AUS) fresh from the high pressure task of judging the 2014 World Equestrian Games in Normandy, France, Susie will be accompanying 5* judges Eduard de Wolff Van Westerrode (NED), Jean-Michel Roudier (FRA), Mary Seefried (AUS) and 4* judges Sue Hobson (NZL), Helen Hughes-Keen (NZL) and Ricky MacMillan (AUS).
