Protocol Day with Sue Lowe

Sunday 26th April 2026

at Rural Sports Facility, Galston

Introducing Sue Lowe

My name is Sue Lowe and I am from Lakesland in Southern Sydney area.
I have been involved with horses for over 30 years including being a Police Officer in the NSW Mounted Police Force for 23years. I have been a Level 1 Equestrian Australia accredited coach since 2001 and started my judging career in 2013.
I have competed in many disciplines but found a love for dressage and have competed up to Prix St George’s level myself. I feel dressage judging has enhanced my coaching skills and training of any horse. I am currently a C level judge (Advanced level) Judging certainly has its challenges but I like to give positive and constructive feedback to the competitor.
I currently have two warmbloods I compete when I can, one at medium level and one at elementary level.

The day will be organised as follows:

20 minute time slots where you ride your chosen test followed by feedback and the chance to re-ride some movements
