Para Dressage National Championships 2025 to be held at Boneo Park

The EA Para Dressage Committee can now confirm that the Para Dressage National Championships for 2025 will be held in conjunction with the Boneo Park CPEDI in November. 

This decision was not made lightly, as hosting the Championships in conjunction with the Dressage National Championships aligns with EA’s commitment to inclusivity and reflects the strong support the Para Dressage program receives from the Dressage National Championships event organisers and the EA Dressage Committee.

Available funding is the key factor in the decision. The Para High Performance program underwrites the Para events at the National Championships and Australian-based CPEDIs. The program is already planning to fund three CPEDIs in the 2024-2025 financial year to provide valuable opportunities for World Equestrian Games qualification. These will limit its ability to also fund a National Championships in the same financial year. 

After careful consideration and evaluation of the efficiencies gained from running the Para Nationals in conjunction with the Boneo Park CPEDI, the EAPDC believes this is the most effective approach for 2025. The event will be an excellent showcase of national and international Para Dressage.

Both committees are committed to promoting inclusivity and anticipate returning to a combined Dressage Nationals after 2025.
