What a year 2019 has been for our club! With the year coming to an end, it is now time to announce our 2019 Zilco Annual Awards!

The Sydney Dressage Annual Awards were created to support excellence in dressage by showcasing the talent of our wonderful members. These awards feature campaigns and programs that support all those who enjoy our sport. We had strong competition for many of our awards this year.

With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.
