New Date For Sydney International Three Day Event!

Published on Wednesday, February 15, 2012 in General

 

The Sydney International Three Day Event has a NEW date!

Following consultation with riders, Eventing NSW, the National Eventing Committee and Equestrian Australia’s High Performance Program SIE has confirmed its two event dates for 2012 and beyond.

The Sydney International 3DE, previously held in September, has moved to a NEW date in April. In 2012 the 3DE, along with the Greater Sydney World Cup Showjumping Qualifier, will be held 27-29 April. 

From 2013 this elite event will run in the second week of May to provide ongoing support to Australia’s Eventing medal prospects at Olympic and World Equestrian Games.

With a prize pool of over $35,000 this is the one of richest equestrian competitions in Australia, attracting the best riders from Australia and New Zealand vying for Olympic selection. Over 250 horses and riders are expected to compete each day.

In addition to the main event in April the SIE committee will also run an end of year 3DE for riders to aim towards at the end of the NSW Eventing season. Classes will include CNC3*, CCI2*, CCI1*, CCN EV105 and CCN EV95.

November will be a rider friendly 3DE run over a shorter period and at a more affordable cost. In 2012 the event will run 9â€Â11 November and will continue to run 3 weeks before Adelaide 3DE in subsequent years.

Cross Country Update

Thanks to Equestrian Australia & the High Performance Program, world renowned cross country course designer Mike Etherington-Smith (GBR) returned to his Sydney 2000 Olympic course in January 2012 to redesign the 3* track for the April Sydney International 3DE, a key selection event for Australian based London Olympic contenders.

The SIE Committee spent an afternoon with Mike discussing his vision for the new course and have released a You Tube Clip of his insights into the new Sydney 3* track.

Cross Country Day is Sat 28 April.

Bring a picnic and watch the thrills (and spills). Entry on cross country day includes a hosted cross country walk with designer Mike ES & SIE patron Wayne Roycroft.
