This opens the event to the wider community, with all able to enjoy the world-class competition”.
The 2004 Mitsubishi Adelaide International Horse Trials will showcase the grace and precision of the Dressage on Friday, to the thrills of Adelaide City Council Cross Country on Saturday, and the big finale of Show Jumping on Sunday, this is elite sport at its finest.
