2020 HYGAIN
VICTORIAN DRESSAGE FESTIVAL
EVENT SPONSOR: HYGAIN
ABOUT THE EVENT
The 2020 Hygain Dressage Festival was the first major Dressage championship post-COVID. It was pulled together quickly by some of the best Equestrian professionals in the country lead by Lizzy Schirmer. Six days of competition gave competitors the chance to get out and compete to be crowned State Champion, after a long run without events due to COVID.
The whole Dressage community chipped in to pull this event off with sponsors being extremely generous and many, many riders assisting with the organisation and on the ground at the event. It was a community spirit we haven’t seen before at a Dressage competition.
The event recorded the highest entries in over 10 years.
