The Auckland Manukau Dressage Group, was formed in 1977 to organize and promote Dressage in the Auckland area.

Our committee is elected at our May Annual General meeting and is active year round, meeting each month on the third Monday at 7.30pm in winter and 8.00 pm during daylight saving. 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 of competitions, a three day Auckland Dressage Championship Show in December and a summer/autumn series of four days Jan-May. 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 competitions which are open to all.

We often hold club days most Sundays during winter.

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:

- An occasional newsletter and regular email newsbriefs keeping everyone up to date on local and National Dressage matters.

- Reduced ground fee at competitions held at Clevedon.

- Preferential status for starts in competitions when balloting of entries occurs.

- Spring and Autumn series trophies.
