Brief History
DCSA was the
first Dressage club in South Australia, having been
started by Tom Roberts in the early 1950s. At first
the club met weekly on Saturday mornings in the
South Parklands, near where the hockey fields are
now.
Later, with
the untiring dedication of John Vaughan, a sargeant
in the Mounted Police, and Tom Roberts, the club
found a permanent 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 is
now based at the Adelaide Hills Equestrian Centre in
Lobethal, a most picturesque facility showcasing the
best of the Adelaide Hills and Onkaparinga Valley.
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.
