Mary Seefried, Chair of ADC stated:  “It has a been a long campaign for the riders and we have been impressed by the improved level of performance of all on the Long List trying for the Team. 

We also thank the unsuccessful combinations (marred by bad luck at the worst times) for their commitment to the sport and their horses, good luck for their future campaigns, and especially hope to see them working towards Rio.   They are the foundation on which we can build towards Rio”.

“The Appeal process has now been resolved and the Team has a couple of weeks to put that behind them and focus on preparation for WEG”.

“The ADC knows they have a great team behind them at WEG and wish each and every one good fortune”.   ADC also wishes to thank and support all of the volunteers and EA office staff who  have been involved so diligently in getting our Team to Normandy.   Not least we thank the generous owners of the Team horses.

The ADC is certain that all EA members and dressage enthusiasts in Australia are behind each and every one of the team members and are proud of their inclusion to represent our sport and to show the improvement our country is making in this difficult sport.
