Master Games

The Australasian Masters Games regrets to inform participants and the general public that all Equestrian events in the Games have been cancelled due to equine influenza (horse flu).

The Equestrian events affected that were due to take place as part of the Games in October include Polocrosse at Lobethal, Equestrian Carriage Driving at Monarto and Equestrian at Aldinga.

The Games and the Games' Sport Convenors for Equestrian events have maintained constant communication with Primary Industries and Resources South Australia (PIRSA) since the outbreak of equine influenza in NSW in August. Sport Convenors for the Games' equine events have assessed the level of risk in running the events to be significant and will therefore comply with the PIRSA recommendation that all equestrain events be cancelled or postponed until further notice. The Games fully support the Sport Convenors in this decision and thank them for their diligence and professionalism in dealing with this matter. The Games and each of the sports involved will work tirelessly to ensure that participants affected by this decision have all queries and issues dealt with appropriately.

Participants registered in Games Equestrian events wil receive refunds of their entry fees. The Games request the understanding of registered participants in the processing of refunds which will occur immediately after the completion of the Australasian Masters Games. Equestrian participants registered in other events in addiiton to equestrian are requested to contact the Games office on (08) 8202 0000.
