LA NOIR EWA PARA EQUESTRIAN DRESSAGE STATE SQUAD

• Combinations who are showing significant improvement and in the opinion of Selectors are moving towards achieving the target scores for their respective grade. The primary focus will be on combinations that have shown the ability or potential to represent WA at State or National standards.
• In all instances where competition results are used for assessment purposes, the standard of competition, number of competitors, the number and level/experience of the judges and the overall quality of the competition may be taken into consideration. Whilst performances at EA and some RDA events may be used as a guide, competitions at major events will be necessary to ensure consideration for State Squad Selection.
• Combinations on State Squad who show they are unable to maintain the rigours of competition and training during a reasonable period (6 - 12 months) will lose their place on this squad.
