Please note that applications for the Talent Search assessment days will close 1 week prior to each assessment. For closing dates please see the table below.
The date for the TAS assessment day has been pushed back to the 19-20th December due to the National Coaches availability.
 
The National Eventing Talent Search Squad is an initiative developed by the National Eventing program in partnership with the NSWIS to specifically identify and select talented combinations for the future that are outside the traditional selection process. Traditionally we select both the National and the NSWIS Squad on the basis of performance indicators in *** CIC’s and CCI’s and as such we may miss some promising horse rider combinations who are competing at lower levels. Maybe with the appropriate assistance these combinations could represent Australia at World Equestrian Games or Olympic Games. The Australian Talent Search Squad is an effort to spread the selection net and find the extraordinary horse/rider combination!
If you have a horse between 4 and 12 years old and if you are 15 yrs of age or older, we want to know you. If you don’t think you want to ride the horse at World Championship or Olympic level but your horse would do the job…..we still want to know you.
 
To be considered for the 2010 National Eventing Talent Search Squad you will need to register your interest by completing the registration form and attending a Talent Search Squad assessment day in your State.

This is a ‘user pays’ initiative. So far, government funding support is not available; but the project has in principal support from Equestrian Australia (National) and EA, (NSW).

What you get out of registering your interest in this National EA initiative is the opportunity to introduce your horse to our National Eventing Coach, Wayne Roycroft.

Benefits for Talent Search Squad Members
A data base will be established to track your performance over a period of twelve months. Every effort will be made to attract funding for on-going training for selected combinations. If selected you will be recognised as a member of “the Australian Talent Search Squad” by an insignia which can be attached to your saddle cloth. You will of course be encouraged to compete with your insignia on your saddle cloth.
 

The plan is to first establish a data base of ‘potential combinations’ and then………

• To provide the opportunity for ongoing training.

• To provide planning support for development of skills

• To provide advice and support for a competition program.
