Thanks to Peter Dunn

On behalf of Federal Council, sincere thanks to Peter Dunn who, as the ACDS Assistant Federal Secretary, helped with the admin of the ACDS while Tom Dowling was on medical leave. I would like to add my personal thanks to Peter for his support and his willingness to undertake the role at short notice. He remains Assistant Federal Secretary.

Horse Registration

All horses and ponies competing at CDEs must be registered with the ACDS.  All horses and ponies must be registered to qualify for Graded Driven Dressage Championships.

As of Monday 4 March, 2024 Horse Registration Cards will not be issued by the ACDS, but instead will be replaced by an Electronic Certificate.  This will be in the form of an A5 sized .pdf document that can be filed on smartphones, tablets etc.

 
Two photographs will be required to be submitted with the Horse Registration forms. The requirements for these photos are on the  Application Forms.  Please abide by photo requirements to ensure proper identification of equines being registered.  Standard smartphones and some of the older models have enough resolution to ensure clear pictures are obtained.
