24.01.2022 Thank you to all the beautiful riders/family members shouting out our committee and event today! You are all so lovely and this is what running comps for others is all about!!! Please message through any photos you may have taken today - we would LOVE to share them on our new website and on here!!

24.01.2022 Such good news for our championships in November! Excited for the future!!

23.01.2022 With everything that has happened regarding the COVID restriction, it has been a crazy intense year! Weve missed a competition, which impacts the rules and regulations for our Membership pointscore. This pointscore has always been based on competitors attending 3/4 events! For this year only we have discussed and agreed to change these regulations to be able to give all members a chance to be eligible! The new regulations are simply that you must attend both our events that... are upcoming - September and November. This will hopefully level the playing feel and encourage members to still participate to the best of their abilities!!! Good luck everyone SDC Digital Manager Sarah Ingall

22.01.2022 Super excited to be able to tell you that so far our competition is scheduled to go ahead next weekend (13th September). We are so grateful to all the people have offered to help so that we can keep our sport going! The committee has been hard at work and our meeting on Tuesday was electric with chatter and planning for our event! The only catch - there will be essential requirements that each of our riders and committee must adhere to on the day!!! , EVERY SINGLE P...ERSON that enters the grounds (no matter their age - child, adult - status - riders, grooms etc) must have their own individual Covid form! And these must be handed to our Covid safety officer at the gate for entry to be given! There will be NO spare forms when you get there (no option to fill it out when you arrive as it will block the entry way)! You must print your own form AND fill it out AND bring it! If not, we cant allow entry unfortunately! , you cannot visit the office on the day! For any reason! Its off limits! Idea will be - arrive, get on your horse, warmup, compete, leave! Results will be on Scoreboard and Test papers will be sent to you at our expense - please make sure you let us know via FB message if you win a ribbon and if you want that ribbon! Please also make sure your address on your entry (you can check on nominate) is correct as that is where it will be sent! Please make sure you read the information on the front of the draw when it heads your way!!!! I know I sound mean - but we really want this to be a success!!!! Know what you need to do and BE PREPARED!!!! Link to the required form https://www.nsw.equestrian.org.au//COVID-19%20Self%20Decla

22.01.2022 We are looking at our options in line with government / EA NSW advice and hope to have a more definite decision for everyone in the coming days/weeks in regards to our upcoming event. Please stay safe and well SDC

22.01.2022 WERE FULL!!! Our September 13 competition has proved to be extremely popular and as a result entries are now full, more than a week before the official closing date! Hope you got in! Please dont harass the competition secretary, we have more than 300 tests to fit into the day and due to the limitations of winter and judges, we are literally unable to fit in any more! ... Please keep checking in to this page for updates closer to the day, including COVID-safe instructions. Following COVID-safe guidelines will enable our sport to keep on keeping on ... :-)

22.01.2022 POINTSCORE RUGS for 2019 It seems like a lifetime ago, but our wonderful winners from last year were set to receive their rugs at our March competition. Those rugs will now be available at our competition next weekend and will be on the verandah at the committee rooms for collection. Please observe social distancing and kindly wait your turn if there is a rider already there before you. ... Unfortunately we will be unable to take photos, shake hands and present the rugs as we usually would thanks to COVID. However, the committee would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all of our winners and ask that you send us in a photo of you and your horse wearing their rug so that we can put up a mass congratulations post after the competition! Thanks for your patience and understanding.

22.01.2022 Entries for our long-awaited September competition are now open on Nominate. Providing nothing changes, it will be our first competition for the year. Please note that there are COVID-19 conditions in place and we will continue to monitor the rules and regulations in the lead up to the day. The committee does not set the conditions - EA and Singleton Showground do - so please be cooperative with committee members. Many thanks, Ann-Maree Lourey, President.

21.01.2022 For those what if to do their coaching certificate, get in touch with Sally-Ann Barbera!

20.01.2022 Draw for this Sundays competition will be emailed out Monday evening! Looking like a great day

19.01.2022 Dont forget to support our major sponsors for our championships from last year! Without them, events wouldnt be so lucrative and enjoyable! KevJon Civil Contracting in Singleton are amazing!

19.01.2022 UPDATE: SEE YOU NEXT YEAR Due to the unavailability of Singleton Showgrounds and also the unavailability of the majority of judges, we have been forced to cancel our Sunday, November 29 competition rather than postpone it to Sunday, December 13. But don't panic - all of our lovely champion rugs and reserve champion saddlecloths and all of our donated prizes will be available for you and your steeds to win when we run our belated PRD 2020 Dressage Championships on March 14,... 2021. Better late than never, right?! Don't forget to save the date ... our 2021 dates (COVID, heat, etc permitting!) are: 14th March 2021 (2020 PRD Singleton Dressage Championships) 30th May 2021 12th September 2021 28th November 2021 (2021 Singleton Dressage Championships) So from all of us at the Singleton Dressage Committee, have a lovely Christmas, enjoy the opportunity to ride and train over the break, and we will be back with competitions details in the New Year. Thanks for all your support during our COVID-ravaged year!!! Ann-Maree Lourey President

19.01.2022 2021 DATES Presuming the world is a happy COVID-under-control place, these are the dates for Singleton Dressage Clubs competitions next year, confirmed by Dressage NSW and by Singleton Showground.

18.01.2022 SINGLETON DRESSAGE COMPETITION At this stage the committee is agreed that, providing there are no further COVID restrictions, our September 13 competition will go ahead in a regional format as per this weeks recommendations from Sport NSW and EA. There will be no Big Tour classes nor Sydney judges/riders, and our paperless scoring will now debut at our November competition instead of September. We look forward to your co-operation with the necessary COVID precautions on th...e day which will enable our sport to continue. Limited entries are available. The committee thanks you for your patience!

16.01.2022 Lots of places are currently social distancing - at least I can hug my horse!!!! * We are currently still organising our event - if this should change, we will let you know ASAP!

16.01.2022 Congratulations to all of our 2019 pointscore winners who collected their prize rugs at the weekend - pictured is Leanne Way and Blackall Park Brooklyn and Tanya Winstanley and Harvest Picasso with their 2019 pointscore rugs. They said: Thanks for a great day and a great 2019!! The following rugs have not yet been collected and can be collected from Byalee Stables at Cessnock: Elise Keeley (medium pony); Kaitlyn Dalhunty (open medium); Kathy McGreal (official novice) and Olivia Palfreyman (official preliminary).

16.01.2022 Keep this in mind and always take something away with you after an event!

15.01.2022 Exciting times.... Thanks to Kayla for designing and creating a brand new website for our club! We are hoping to be able to utilise this site more often and have more features and interesting pieces on there. Stay tuned for more, but for now - please head on over and give it some click so it is featured on google search more easily for all of you!!! https://www.singletondressage.com/

15.01.2022 Timely reminder - check those dates and get entering for our event!!!! Its going to be an amazing day and we know you will have a fabulous time out and about dancing with your pony! Look forward to seeing you there! https://nominate.com.au/equestdn/Event.aspx

11.01.2022 What a bizarre year it’s been. We’ve been fortunate to have already held one event and there is still another to go on the 29th (don’t forget to enter for the CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!!) We’ve got a few interesting points that we will bring to your attention over the coming months but have made some decisions for progress and change! We’re excited for the future of our ever popular competitions! Firstly - we’ve decided that anyone who joins as a member for this coming event will hav...e their membership carried over into 2021! It won’t allow you to be eligible for this year’s pointscore but will allow it for next year and you will have members rates! Secondly - junior classes at our upcoming event will be for riders up to the age of 18! We will revise this for next year (to be even more inclusive of our junior and young riders) - more details to come in the new year! Thirdly - did you know the surface at the ground had been improved? Sand has been added to make it far softer for horses! Come and try it out!!! Finally - our coming event has capped entries!!!! Get your entries in ASAP because they’re rapidly filling and we’d hate you to miss out!!!!!

11.01.2022 We made Horse Deals!!! https://www.horsedeals.com.au//fri-18th-040b9d71-c57e-45b6

10.01.2022 Live score results available here https://www.nominate.com.au/scorebo/results//Reports.aspx

09.01.2022 Our loyal Lavacoffee van will be on hand at our upcoming competition on Sunday, operating in a COVIDSAFE-accredited manner to make sure we have everything we need to make it through the day. Catering for our 13 judges for lunch, Christine and Richard will also offer all your favourite beverages plus lots of tempting cakes, sandwiches and more! Please observe social distacing if and when you queue and please dont socialise unnecessarily with your fellow riders - maybe next comp!

09.01.2022 TOO HOT! Sadly, we are forced to postpone our PRD 2020 Singleton Dressage Championships scheduled for this Sunday, November 29. A temperature of 42 degrees is forecast, which, combined with the humidity listed on the BOM website, puts conditions outside the acceptable range under Equestrian Australia's hot weather policy. This is not a subjective decision made by the committee, but one made mandatory by the policy. It is for the safety of our horses and riders. ... However, we do hope to run the championships just two weeks later on December 13, when the temperature is forecast to be a much more rideable 28 degrees. We are awaiting confirmation on Thursday from Singleton Showground re availability for that date, so watch this space. Please don't message the event secretary regarding refunds or scratchings until we confirm the postponement of the championships to the new date, or more reluctantly to hold a delayed 2020 championships at our first 2021 competition!!! Ann-Maree Lourey President

09.01.2022 The event is getting closer and, with one of our modifications that are in place, it is essential that we post our test papers to everyone so that people arent visiting the office.... That means..... YOU need to check your address is accurate with nominate! To do this you can check your entry receipt (should have been emailed) or log into nominate! We already know that some local people have addresses in the system from years ago! We dont want your test papers lost in the... mail system - so PLEASE check check check!!!!!! If theres an issue with your address, please change it in the system AND just message the Facebook page (not Dimity) as these will them be passed on to Kirsty (our scorer) so that your papers can get to you!!! Thanks for being ON IT!!! Please tag those you know are coming also!!!

09.01.2022 Our 2020 PRD Nationwide Championships are fast approaching on November 29 and entries will soon be available for you on Nominate. Please ask around and help us to gain sponsors for the day - $500 buys you sponsorship of a level and a name on a rug but all donations of goods/cash are more than welcome. We have an official letter, please PM us for a copy if you would like to hand it out. ... Every little bit helps. We are one of the few clubs offering a Championship event this year, let's make it a good one!

07.01.2022 Draw for this Sunday's competition will be emailed out Monday evening! Looking like a great day

03.01.2022 PRESIDENTIAL REPORT A huge thank you to all of the riders, officials and supporters of Singleton Dressage Club for being COVID-cooperative and allowing us to run our first dressage day of the year so successfully! A special thank you to our vice-president Kellie Webster, who gave up the chance to compete on her own horse to instead sit on the gate all day in her pretty orange outfit and exchange your COVID forms for wristbands.

01.01.2022 Motivational Monday....

01.01.2022 Last night we held our first committee meeting since Covid-19 occurred. Were excited to have commenced preparations for our first event back in September on the 13th. There will be a lot of information coming to each of you in the next week regarding pointscores, event procedures, COVID restrictions and so forth, so please share/tag and comment on each of our posts to ensure that all posts are seen by a large majority of rider and competitors! Looking forward to sharing cu...rrent and up to date information with each of you over the next week! Stay tuned.... SDC Digital Manager Sarah Ingall See more

01.01.2022 Just another reminder that our April event is cancelled. Dimity has contacted nominate to issue refunds - however these will be less admin fees we believe. Lets hope things have settled down by the next event! Stay tuned, keep training - go ride outside the arena a bit too and have some fun!!! All this extra time on our hands that we may all be having will be super good
