Message from the Chair of Equestrian WA
The Equestrian Western Australia Board wish to update our members on recent developments at the national level.
Our Board, along with Chairs of the other State and Territory Associations (excepting South Australia), has raised a number of serious concerns with the Equestrian Australia Board. These include governance, financial management, national leadership, and the scale of proposed membership fee increases. On many of these issues, the State Boards hold a different perspective from EA, and those differences need to be addressed transparently and in good faith.
Our Board is advocating strongly on behalf of WA members. Together with other State Chairs, we’ve called for a meeting with the EA Board, facilitated by the Australian Sports Commission. We believe this is the only constructive way forward to rebuild trust, resolve key issues, and avoid further escalation such as a Special General Meeting.
We want to be very clear: our intention is not to divide, but to work with Equestrian Australia to develop a stronger, more effective national structure—one that delivers real value and stability for all members, including every rider, coach, official and volunteer here in Western Australia.
We remain committed to doing what’s right for the sport and for our members. Thank you for your support as we continue this important work.
