The 2015 NSW Dressage Championships have been described as one of the best ever, as four days of competition wrapped up at Sydney International Equestrian Centre (SIEC) today. 

More than 200 riders completed in excess of 400 tests across all levels, including grass roots Amateur Owner Riders competing in their own championships for the first time.
