Equestrian WA is pleased to announce that we have been successful in receiving a grant of $300,000 from the State Government through the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries, and Lotterywest for the COVID-19 Resilience funding.
This grant is to support EWA and the SEC with income shortfalls due to the restrictions that COVID-19 has placed on the Sport. The funds will be used in accordance with the grant conditions and include support for our Sport committees so we can maintain services to our members.

EQUESTRIAN WA MEMBER'S FORUM
Equestrian WA held a members' forum to discuss the EA voluntary administration, the proposed new EA Constitution, and the EWA board's actions and concerns on the issues this had raised.
The meeting was attended by sixty-two people, and an additional eight joined via Zoom. The meeting was opened by EWA Chairperson Ron Fleming giving an overview of the actions EWA, EVic, ENSW, ESA and ETas have taken since the 2nd Creditors meeting to enable the EA administrator KordaMentha to propose a new EA Constitution that is supported by EWA and the other 4 States, which would meet the terms of the DoCA and avoid the liquidation of EA.
