MEA's  2025 Dressage By The Mountains will be an unofficial event designed to encourage new riders and young horses. The Cooma Showgrounds are picturesque with a large brilliant green oval, a sand arena for lunging,  and plenty of covered stalls. The grounds are quiet with no through traffic. For those new to competition and are not already members of MEA or EA, Day Membership with MEA is available for $10/rider.  All these features are paramount for the enjoyment of a relaxed competition. Furthermore, in the afternoon at the conclusion of this dressage  event, riders will be able to familiarise their horses with the obstacles being used for the following day's Working Equitation Event. Bemboka Show Dressage and Working Equitation will be running this at the Cooma Sghowgrounds on the Sunday 30th November. Riders who intend to compete at both events are able to camp with their horses at Cooma Showgrounds.
