2025 Eventing Queensland State Squads Applications

Selection Criteria for Elite, Futures & Youth Squad

Applications to join the 2025 Eventing Queensland Elite, Futures & Youth Squad are now open.

Appointments for the Eventing Queensland Elite, Futures and Youth Squads are selected on events participated at from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024 wide. Further appointments can be made to the squad when combinations have reached the criteria at events in 2024 as and when the combination meets the Eventing Queensland Squad eligibility requirements.

Athletes must be prepared to sign a squad agreement.

Applications for Elite and Futures Squads close on Friday 10 January 2025.
Applications for Youth Squad will close on Monday 4 November, 2024.

Eventing Queensland Youth Squad applications, appointment and closing timelines have been adjusted due to athletes being required to attend the EQ Youth Development Camp 10-12 January, 2025 and the tight timelines around the nomination process for this event.

The applications are reviewed by Eventing Queensland and athletes who achieve the criteria will be invited to join the Eventing QLD State Squads upon ratification by the Equestrian Queensland Board.

A Queensland combination that meets Equestrian Australia’s High Performance criteria will automatically be placed on an Eventing Queensland Squad, but an application and agreement is still required to be submitted.
