Bulahdelah Dressage club

15th Anniversary Dinner

You are invited to BDC anniversary dinner on 22nd May 2010 at Bulahdelah Bowling Club. 7pm.

All members welcome RSVP to Kerry Turnbull

 

  (There will be a club meeting at 6.30pm. before the dinner.)

 

 

ABC&F DAYS

 

Unfortunately riders numbers attending our playdays have dwindled and we are looking for fresh ideas to keep our play days going.

 

If you would be interested in having an instruction day (with a qualified instructor), jumping day, gymkhana activities or a basics to dressage day for those who are just getting into dressage. Please let us know and we will organise it. 

 

These are just examples of what we could do if you have any ideas we are open to suggestions.

 

Playdays are the perfect opportunity to get involved in dressage, meet people with like interests and if you or your horse are not that confident out, this is a great place to build that confidence without any pressure.

 Equestrian Australia have issued some guidelines to consider when running competitions on very hot days.

Anyone wishing to construct stables or yards at EA events will have to abide by Article 109.3 of the EA General Regulations which states:

 Entry via Stuart Street
 

Bulahdelah Dressage Club was formed in 1995 to allow local residents of Bulahdelah and its surrounds

the opportunity to train and compete in a friendly yet well run club environment.

We run 6 ‘T-shirt’ competitions each year, as well as regular training and ABC&F days.

Our ABC&F days are ACTIVITIES  (not just dressage),

 BUILDING CONFIDENCE (for horse and rider) and FUN days.

Our days are usually held at Bulahdelah Showground (see map above)

As we offer only associate competitions we are very popular with both new riders and those with green horses.

Membership is $20 per year with a $5 joining fee (see Forms).
