According to the International Paralympic Equestrian Committee Rules, riders with disabilities MUST compete on borrowed horses. Qualifying events for riders with disabilities trying out for the 2000 Paralympic games begins in April 1999 and runs through October. Qualifying Shows Selection trials are scheduled to be held in the spring of 2000. Owners of dressage horses trained from First through Third Level are being sought to lend their horses for use by riders with disabilities at these events. Horse owners are welcome to attend the show with their horses or may be assured that show management will provide staff to take excellent care of their horse.
Funds are available for horse care and traveling costs.
Please help the 2000 United States Paralympic Team by responding to our plea for assistance by considering lending your horse or putting us in contact with others who may lend theirs.
