PRESS RELEASE - Horseland 2007 EFA Australian Dressage Championships

Horseland 2007 EFA Australian Dressage Championships Including CDI-W, CDI-Y & CDIO2*
25, 26, 27, 28 October 2007 - Sydney International Equestrian Centre, Horsley Park

Cancelled

The Australian Dressage Committee in conjunction with the Organising Committee regrets that because of the uncertain end of the Equine Influenza outbreak and the horse movement restrictions currently in place, the Australian Dressage Committee has decided to cancel the 2007 Horseland Australian Dressage Championships.

Consideration was given to staging the event early next year; however, in the current climate we believe the best outcome for the sport and all concerned was to cancel the event and focus on the 2008 event programme.

The Hawkesbury and the Hunter Valley are two of the hardest-hit areas with EI and these two regions have the highest concentration of dressage horses in Australia. On behalf of the Organising Committee I extend our best wishes to all riders/owners with horses affected by EI.

Our expectations for the Championships were high and we were all looking forward to presenting a great event for our riders, owners, sponsors and spectators to enjoy.

Our special thanks too our sponsors and supporters:
Horseland, the Equestrian Federation of Australia, Bates, Hamilton Island, Holiday Inn, Rooty Hill, Gow-Gates, Mitavite, Swish Horse, Peter Horobin, Needs for Steeds, International Horse Breeders, Hunter Valley Warmblood Stud, Hamag, Precision Printers, Randwick Equine Centre, The Riders Shoppé, Wagners, Lexus of Parramatta, NSW Institute of Sport , the Sydney International Equestrian Centre as well as our media partners, exhibitors and many other supporters.

We look forward to better times ahead!

Toni Venhaus
Event Director
