2022 Dressage Spectacular

Results 

Our 2022 SAQ Dressage Spectacular was held on the 23rd of April 2022 at the SAQ home grounds located on the Marburg Showgrounds.

We are enourmously thankful to our sponsors Queensland Racing Integrity Commission (QRIC) and Garrards  for their very generous support of this event. Through their kind-hearted support every competitor went home with their arms full. We would like to encourage all competitors and SAQ members to patronise these generous businesses as much as possible and to thank them for backing of our event and this wonderful breed.

An enjoyable day was had with mostly sunny skies and lots of positive feedback from those in attendance.

SAQ committee thanks everyone, particularly our volunteers, for making the day as successful as it was. We especially thank Marburg Pacing Association for their continued support of our club.
