This year we had expectations to live up to and the organising committee really wanted to exceed them... well, I think we did!

The Festival of Dressage has many goals:

• To share the sport of Dressage with everyone
• To showcase our sport making it more marketable and inviting for sponsors by utilising the talents of the State Squad
• To spread the word - Dressage is Great!

And to fundraise along the way...

We (the organising committee) would like to thank the sponsors of the QLD State Dressage Squad - Flying Changes Saddlery and Equitec Performance Products.

We would also like to thank numerous sponsors who helped make the Festival as successfull as it was:

• The QLD Department of Sport and Recreation
• Equestrian Land Developments
• On the Bit
• Prydes EasiFeed
• Shire Saddlery

We would like to thank all those who donated to the Silent Auction and Raffle. Your generosity contributed to the day's success and excitement!

We would like to thank the helping members of the Flying Changes Saddlery QLD State Dressage Squad.

We would like to thank a handful of incredible volunteers; including our commentators for the day, Trish Magoffin at the On the Bit Seninar Centre and Colin Zeller at the Main Arena.

We would like to thank our official Festival photographer - Tammy Stephens for her pictorial coverage of the event.

AND to the wonderful team of people that make up the Orginising Committee of this wonderful event - THANKYOU! Without you this idea would never have seen the light of day.

And last but not least - a big thankyou to the public for coming! Hope to see you all again next year for a new and even more exciting program!
