Young riders showcased their talent at the recent 2025 Equisk Queensland Youth Dressage Championships. An event designed to promote camaraderie among young dressage riders and foster their love for the sport, the Championships were once again successful in achieving that goal this year!

The penultimate day of the Hawkesbury Dressage Festival, held at the Sydney International Equestrian Centre, delivered no shortage of excitement, elegance, and reflection.

Robert Whitaker became the fourth member of his family to win the Al Shira’aa Derby at Hickstead, coming out on top of a three-way jump-off with Caroline Blatchford’s Gentlemen VD Veldhof.

The Hawkesbury Dressage Festival continued under brilliant sunshine and ideal riding conditions on Thursday (19 June), despite starting with a crisp winter frost. The surfaces were a little variable but okay, and the facilities world class.

The Hawkesbury Dressage Festival continued with two more days of exciting competition and top-quality horses on Monday and Tuesday (16-17 June).

Equestrian fans will be able to watch all of the action from the International Arena at Hickstead this season on the leading livestreaming platform for equestrian events, ClipMyHorse.TV.

If you’re looking for a benchmark in Australian dressage, a win at the Hawkesbury Dressage Festival certainly says something. This eight-day extravaganza of dressage, held at the Sydney International Equestrian Centre (SIEC), is one of the most anticipated events on the calendar. The event runs from 14-22 June, with a day off from competition on the 18 June.
