Dressage athletes across Australia have been given more time to secure their place at the 2026 4CYTE™ Australian Dressage Championships, with entries now extended until midnight Monday, 14 September 2026.
The extension provides an additional opportunity for combinations to enter Australia’s premier dressage championship, which will be held at Boneo Park Equestrian Centre on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula from 15–18 October.
Athletes who are still seeking a final qualifying score may also apply to the Organising Committee (Boneo Park) to submit a qualification achieved at eligible events up until 21 September 2026.
To be considered, athletes must enter the Championships before entries close at midnight on 14 September and advise the Organising Committee prior to the closing date that they intend to seek a late qualification.
Athletes are also reminded that they need one qualifying score on the horse they intend to ride at the Championships, with the horse able to have up to two additional eligible scores considered to improve its ranking on the acceptance list.
DRESSAGE AT ITS BEST
The 2026 4CYTE™ Australian Dressage Championships will bring together Australia’s leading and emerging dressage combinations at Boneo Park for four days of elite competition, from Novice through to Grand Prix for horses and ponies.
