WA riders join the National High Performance Squad

Equestrian Australia have announced the National High Performance Squads for 2026 for Eventing and Para-Equestrian and six Western Australian riders have made the squad.

The purpose of Equestrian Australia’s High-Performance Squads is to identify, support and develop athletes who have the potential to represent Australia at World Championships and/or Olympic Games level.

The aim of the High Performance Squads is to improve the performances of identified athletes and horses by taking a holistic approach to their development both on and off horse, with the ultimate goal of securing podium finishes in line with Sport Australia’s 2032+ Win Well High Performance Investment Strategy. As a member of Equestrian Australia’s High-Performance Squad, each athlete will be guided on their Individual Athlete Performance Plan (IAPP), coordinated by EA’s High Performance staff.
