After the recent release of the Australian squad selection policies for dressage, Equestrian Australia announced the national dressage squads for 2013.
Following strong performances at the recent Sydney CDI3*, Queensland’s Sheridyn Ashwood (VDL Prestige) joins the national program on the 2013 Elite Squad, as does Australian Dressage Champion and 2012 Equestrian Australia domestic athlete of the year Maree Tomkinson (Diamantina) who moves from the A squad onto the elite squad.
Combinations have been selected on the national squads because they have demonstrated the potential to represent Australia at an internationally competitive standard.
