Sydney International Horse Trials 3 and 2 Star to be Re-run

Following the tragic death of Caitlyn Fischer and after careful consideration and consultation with riders, officials and volunteers, The Sydney International Horse Trials Organising Committee has decided to offer riders who had entered the three and two star events the opportunity to restart this weekend.

Dressage will run on Friday 6 May, Cross Country on Saturday 7 May and Show Jumping on Sunday 8 May at the Sydney International Equestrian Centre at Horsley Park.

The event will be open to the public and spectators are invited to attend to pay their respects to Caitlyn, who will be remembered during a minute’s silence following the conclusion of the Show Jumping on Sunday.

Members of the media wishing to attend the event should contact the Equestrian Australia Media Unit to arrange accreditation.

A competition timetable will be released in due course.
