Competitors at EvA 95 and above now have the opportunity to get a data based indication of their horse’s relative risk before entering an event.

Go online through the MyEA portal, click on Horse Details, Licences, EquiRatings Quality Index (ERQI) Ratings and get a visual indicator of risk for your horse at the level of competition you are considering entering.

The ERQI system brings to Eventing the ability to measure individual relative risk and is designed to assist riders and owners in making more informed decisions about risk management and the level at which they enter any particular competition.

EA is currently offering ERQI solely as an advisory tool. Equestrian Australia has no requirement for a horse to have a green ERQI to enter an event at the level in question nor is it suggesting that a green ERQI is a guarantee of a successful completion. The ERQI should be treated as a guideline and EA strongly recommends that riders use ERQI and all the other tools at their disposal to make safe and informed decisions about the competition plans for their horses.

Remember - ERQI before ENTRY

The ERQI is just one of a number of safety initiatives implemented by EA with the generous support of the Terry Snow “Making Eventing Safer” fund.
