Dressage QLD have introduced an Amateur Owner Rider Squad for 2027.
Open to all non professional riders.
🔗 Link in the post below.
🔹 2027 DRESSAGESTATE SQUAD SELECTION
QLD State Dressage Squads are based purely on performance — meaning all riders have equal opportunity:
No matter your location or mount — your results are what count.
🔹 2027Amateur Owner Rider (AOR) Squad
The AOR Squad is designed to recognise and support talented combinations who are not professional riders.
It’s a great pathway for dedicated amateurs who train and compete their own horses, showcasing that you don’t need to be a professional to perform at a high level. Selection is still performance-based, so consistent results and strong competition performances are key.
👉 If you’re an amateur rider putting in the work — this is your opportunity to be recognised at state level!
