The Senior and Young Rider Oceania Long Lists for the New Zealand teams competing at the Melbourne International Three-Day Event at Werribee, June 8-12, have been announced and there’s a star-studded line-up including two Olympians.
Congratulations to the following combinations:

Most of these combinations will head to a training camp next week at Tielcey Park in Palmerston North. Virginia Thompson is campaigning Star Noveau in Australia already. The Eventing Central Districts horse trial at Pukemarama April 29-30 will be the last chance for combinations to impress the selectors before they name the two teams of four and the two non-travelling reserves prior to the NRM National Three Day Event at Taupo.
Congratulations to those on the lists, and we look forward to the final team being named and the competition against the Australians in Melbourne!
