Come and watch our Olympic Eventing Team members at SIEC

Nicola Turner, EFA National Office, Monday, 14 July 2008

Watch the Olympic Eventing Team riders compete at SIEC this Saturday, 19 July and afterwards join us at an official farewell function.

Australia-based Olympic Eventing Team members and reserves will have their final hit-out at Sydney International Equestrian Centre on Saturday, 19 July just days before Team members are due to depart for the Olympic Games on 30 July.

First-time Olympians Sonja Johnson (Ringwould Jaguar), Shane Rose (All Luck) and Megan Jones (Kirby Park Irish Jester) along with reserves Wendy Schaeffer and Christopher Burton will be riding.

Competitors will be riding the Olympic Dressage test starting at 10.30am followed later by an Olympic-level Showjumping course at 4pm.

There will be opportunities for media interviews throughout the day as well as an official EFA farewell to the Team members from 5pm to 7pm.  The riders will be available to sign posters and mingle with guests.  Everyone is welcome to attend.

This will be the final opportunity for the media and the public to watch our 2008 Olympians before the venue is ‘locked down’ for Pre-Export Quarantine.
