Officials Development

The Equestrian Queensland (EQ) Sport Development Fund for Officials offers funding which is aimed at supporting Sport Committee and Affiliates to develop and increase the standard of excellence by providing funds directly to the individual to assist with travel expenses associated with attending EA/FEI recognised courses. The funding also supports EQ Sport committees and EQ Affiliates to support growth and development of officials through educational opportunities.
