EA HELMET STANDARD CHANGES

A reminder that Equestrian Australia has advised that, as of 1 January 2017, helmets with the EN1384 standard will not be permitted under EA’s General Regulations. In addition, a new standard VG1 has been added to the General Regulations effective immediately. 

As per the EA General Regulations, Equestrian Australia highly recommends the use of helmets that conform to Australian Standard AS/NZS 3838, as this standard provides for more stringent testing and further periodic retesting.


CLUBS

ICDF APPLICATIONS NOW OPEN

Clubs are now invited to apply for the International Competition and Development Fund (ICDF) grants for events set to take place between 1 July 2016 - 30 June 2017.

The ICDF supports projects and events that either clearly fall into the “international competition” category or can be demonstrated to further the “development” of the sport in general or a particular discipline. “Development” predominantly denotes workshops and seminars for the training of judges and officials, and other activities carried out for the development of competencies, including opportunities for skill practice (competitions and events).
