Welcome...
DCSA was the first dressage club in South Australia, having been started by Tom Roberts in the early 1950s. Initially the club met weekly on Saturday mornings in Adelaide's South Parklands, near where the hockey fields are located.
Later, with the untiring dedication of John Vaughan, a sergeant in the Mounted Police, and Tom Roberts, the club found a home on the narrow isthmus of the parklands between the Torrens and the railway line at Bowden, to be known as John Vaughan Park. The club moved around to various venues over the following years, always seeking excellent surfaces for the riders and endeavoring to stay in the hills environment.
Our 2021 and beyond competition home is the beautiful Cromwell Park owned by Andy & Mandy Cogan, just outside of Hahndorf.
Our Founder, Tom Roberts said about Dressage "AIM AT PERFECTION, BUT FROM DAY TO DAY ASK ONLY FOR IMPROVEMENT OR SOME LITTLE PROGRESS" - a motto that the Committee and Members of the club strive to follow.
