Equestrian Australia to Reverse Decision to Not Send Team to 2022 World Para Dressage Championships

Equestrian Australia (EA) has reversed its decision not to send a team to the 2022 World Para Dressage Championships in Herning (DEN) on 6 - 14 August 2022.

On 11 July EA announced this news, even though several riders had met all qualification standards and offered to pay their own way.

The Australian federation backed up its decision by stating that "the National Selection Panel was directed by EA High Performance to the edict that its program is committed to funding only genuine medal contention combinations to attend the 2022 FEI World Championships'."

Outcry on Social Media

The news caused massive upheaval online and the para riders received support on social media from Australia's dressage team riders selected for Herning, such as Mary Hanna and Lyndal Oatley, who are also not genuine medal contention combinations in Herning.
