- Welcome to Auckland Manukau Dressage Group -
The Auckland Manukau Dressage Group, was formed in 1977 to organise and promote Dressage in the Auckland area. Our committee is elected at our May Annual General meeting and is active year round with meetings held virtually and in person. These meetings are open for all members to attend. We have a delegate to the New Zealand Dressage Committee who reports back to our meetings on the Dressage scene in New Zealand.
The group holds a Spring series, a multi day Auckland Dressage Championship Show, a two day Amateur, Young Rider and Pony Championship Show, and an Autumn series starting Feb. These are all run under ESNZ and DNZ rules, riders must be members of the ESNZ and horses must be registered for Dressage to compete in the registered classes.
Classes for non ESNZ members and unregistered horses are available at most of our competition days as an introduction to Dressage and we hold winter training days which are open to all. The group has two large all weather arenas capable of accommodating 8 full sized competition arenas. Shows and club days are held at Clevedon Showgrounds, Monument Rd, Clevedon.
Membership is open to anyone who is interested in the sport, whether competitor or supporter. Member benefits include:
A regular newsletter and email news-briefs keeping everyone up to date on local and National Dressage matters.
Preferential status for starts in competitions when balloting of entries occurs.
Spring and Autumn series trophies.
Use of AMDG grounds outside of competition days
Note - non AMDG members can book times to use our grounds with payment of a ground fee - please contact our grounds co-ordinator Marjolein
