Special Olympics National Games 2014
Recently we had 4 very dedicated Equestrian Queensland athletes, attend the tenth Special Olympics Australia National Games in Melbourne, Victoria.
For many athletes the Games represented the culmination of years of rigorous training and dedication. The National Games also served as a platform for athletes to compete at the Special Olympics World Summer Games 2015 to be held in Los Angeles, USA.
Queensland was the only state that provided a qualification process for these athletes to attend this event, and it was hotly contested.
On another note we would like to wish Chantal Simpson a speedy recovery after having an accident at the Special Olympics on her borrowed horse. Chantal recently underwent surgery and we look forward to seeing her up and about on her lovely mare soon.
