Equestrian Queensland Hall of Fame Criteria and Nominations |
OVERVIEW
Equestrian Queensland is very fortunate to have so many people willing and eager to dedicate their life to our sport.
Each year we recognise the achievements and contributions of our members through the Equestrian Queensland Annual Awards.
In 2017, Equestrian Queensland introduced a Hall of Fame to recognise the outstanding achievements, service and contributions of Queenslanders in the sport.
At the 2017 Equestrian Queensland Annual Awards, we celebrated our inaugural Hall of Fame inductee Guy Creighton (Click here for the Presentation).
At the 2019 Equestrian Queensland Annual Awards, we celebrated Hall of Fame inductees Mary Seefried (Click here for the Presentation) and Chris Burton (Click here for the Presentation).

Those inducted into the Hall of Fame as a general member must have a high level achievement from personal effort or initiative, in a field of endeavour that contributes to the performances of athletes or to the development and status of sport in Queensland.
