Aussies set for dressage day at Kentucky 3DE

Kentucky Three-Day Event is underway, with Germany’s Michael Jung and FischerChipmunk FRH leading the field after day one of the dressage. Two Aussies will ride down the centreline on day two.

Horses & Dreams, held annually at Hof Kasselmann in Hagen, is one of Germany’s premier equestrian events and officially opens the outdoor season with a prestigious CDI4*/CSI4* competition. From April 23 to 27, 2025, the event is once again drawing top international riders – including Australians.

Young Australian dressage riders are making increasingly common appearances in the FEI Dressage World Rankings, with the latest update revealing 30 Aussie riders in the top 100 across the Under 25, Young Rider, Junior, Pony and Children’s categories.

Following the news that Galway Downs will not serve as the equestrian venue for the Los Angeles Games, Santa Anita Park has now been confirmed.

From 4-6 April, National Capital Horse Trials Association (NCHTA) held their second international horse trials in the space of seven months – and what a well-received event it was. The Asset Construction Hire Canberra International Horse Trials saw many riders on the hunt for qualification scores ahead of Adelaide Equestrian Festival (1-4 May), leading to big classes and impressive results.   

Galway Downs will not serve as the equestrian venue for the Los Angeles Games. Largely considered a near-certainly to host equestrian for LA28 in just over three years’ time, it was announced late last week that this is no longer the case – much to the surprise of the venue.
