Equestrian Australia is pleased to announce the Hall of Fame Team Inductees
Equestrian Australia is pleased to announce that the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games Jumping Team of John Fahey, Bridget McIntyre & Kevin Bacon will be inducted into the EA Hall of Fame in the team’s category.
The addition of an Australian Jumping Team at the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games made this Olympiad significant for Australian equestrian sport.
The jumping team that departed Australian shores for Tokyo consisted of Kevin Bacon with his old partner Ocean Foam, John Fahey and his brilliant little black gelding Bonvale and Bud McIntyre on the sensational Coronation. The Australians were amongst 46 riders from Britain, Italy, Korea, Argentina, Japan, USA, Mexico, France, Russia, New Zealand, Spain, Switzerland and Germany.
The 1964 Jumping team was at the forefront of shaping jumping in Australia, with all team members being influential as competitors, breeders and ambassadors for many years after the Games. Read more about the team HERE
Now in its fourth year, the Equestrian Australia Hall of Fame pays tribute to the heroes of equestrian sport. For the first time inductees have been selected by living Hall of Fame members. Tickets are available HERE
Stay tuned to the EA website for more Hall of Fame announcements. Over the coming days EA will reveal a new Hall of Fame inductee each day.
