2000 Olympic Games
The Australian Equestrian Federation has announced its Olympic Dressage team after careful consideration with chef d'equipe Clemens Dierks.
The selected team members are Kristy Oatley-Nist with her Hanoverian chestnut Rosemount Wallstreet (by Weltmeyer), Ricky MacMillan with her Hanoverian dark bay Crisp (by Consul/T), Rachael Downs and her chesnut mare Aphrodite, and Mary Hanna with Limbo.
The Australian horse magazine The Horse Magazine is furious that the selection committee did not take Rosamund Ryan and Exellent into account. Ryan became the consecutive national dressage champion but was not selected after all.
