Australia
The Australian equestrian federation (EA) has nominated the horses to represent Australia at the 2026 FEI World Breeding Championships for Young Horses, taking place in Verden, Germany, from 4–9 August 2026.
Due to the small size of its domestic studbook, Australia is only eligible to send one horse and rider combination per age category.
Leading the Australian team as Chef d'Équipe is the German based Autralian former team rider Maree Tomkinson.

5-year olds
- Zauberflöte (Mare by Zenon VDL out of Hot Amour P.S.) - Jemma Heran
