Australian Olympic Dressage Team Announced

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.
