MSEDC is a dressage club in South East SA, with approx 80 members from all over Australia.

We are renowned for our fun events, and thinking outside the square with our competitions and training clinics.

Membership is open to anyone, and we love to welcome new members.

Encouraging the camaraderie within our great sport of dressage is our aim;

fun….friendship…forward moving!

Promoting dressage for all levels of riders and age-groups.

At Mount Crawford Dressage Club our goal is to provide a safe, organised and friendly dressage club for all riders. With an annual calendar that’s filled with competitions and training days we are sure there is something for everyone at Mount Crawford.

From beginner children at 3 years or a beginner adult, Koolyangarra will provide a safe and nurturing environment to teach you the skills needed for a partnership with a horse or pony.

Have a lesson on one of ours or bring your own.  We can also help you with horses/ponies that need re-education, float training, ground work and young green horses.

The focus of training is on relaxation and rhythm as the key elements of the German training scale.  The student is taught to recognise the horse’s body language so any conflict is dealt with quickly and calmly. Children’s lessons also include the use of music and lots of games.  It is important to have the rider relaxed in order for the horse to be relaxed.

Cagah Park Equestrian Centre offers quality horse riding instruction for beginners through to advanced riders.
All riders must have an initial private assessment lesson and generally continue with private lessons until they are assessed as capable of moving to a group lesson. Cagah Park provides a range of quality horses for lessons, all individually equipped – or you can bring your own horse.

Our riding lessons are structured around the group concept, where learning is more enjoyable, particularly for the new rider.

Private lessons are also available.

Phillip spent his very early years with his parents on a cattle station knocking about with his brothers before discovering his passion for horses. His father had always had a close affinity with horses and it wasn't long before a young Phillip was in there helping his father break in and educate the stations young horses.

At the age of 15, a riding career beckoned and he soon found himself apprenticed to John Hall at Morphettville and later completing his time at Alice Springs with Viv Oldfield. After riding many winners, nature started to take control and his increasing weight made it difficult for him to continue riding so he made the decision to pack his bags and head abroad to broaden his knowledge.

His travels would take him to some of the world's leading thoroughbred training capitals including time in America with Bill Mott, in France with John Hammond and 10 years in Japan at Taiki Farm which has produced some of that country's best Group horses.

Whilst working in Japan he also met his lovely wife Ayumi who has been pivotal to the success and continuing support of Phillip’s endeavours as well as producing their two boys, Tommy and Kerrin who are very much a part of the team.

His local and international knowledge has become invaluable in the way he approaches his training methods and firmly believes in having a hands-on approach when it comes to his horses.

The Two Wells Equestrian and Pony Club began as the Two Wells and Districts Club in January 1979. Pentti Puro and Don Clark were the first President and Vice President respectively. An area adjacent to Booloman Minga was made available by the Williams family for rallies. 

Mallala Council was approached in 1983 for grounds, and then permanent grounds on Aunger Road, Lewiston became available in 1986. Early in 1987, the Clubrooms were erected.
