DCSA was the first Dressage club in South Australia, having been started by Tom Roberts in the early 1950s. At first the club met weekly on Saturday mornings in the South Parklands, near where the hockey fields are now.

Later, with the untiring dedication of John Vaughan, a sargeant in the Mounted Police, and Tom Roberts, the club found a permanent home on the narrow isthmus of the parklands between the Torrens and the railway line at Bowden, to be known as John Vaughan Park.

The club is now based at the Adelaide Hills Equestrian Centre in Lobethal, a most picturesque facility showcasing the best of the Adelaide Hills and Onkaparinga Valley.
