Announcement: Riders Fuel Grant š“
The Adelaide Equestrian Festival is honoured to announce the introduction of the 2026 Riders Fuel Grant, made possible through the incredible generosity of the Marleston Foundation. š
Following a significant contribution to the Festival in 2025, the Marleston Foundation has this year chosen to directly support competitors by helping offset the considerable costs associated with travel. A total of $10,000 will be distributed among riders competing in the 2026 event.
The grant has been structured to provide scaled support, with riders travelling from Queensland and Western Australia receiving the highest level of assistance in recognition of the greater distances involved.
On behalf of all competitors, we extend our sincere thanks to the Board of the Marleston Foundation for their continued support and this thoughtful initiative, which will make a meaningful difference to riders participating in the Festival. ā¤ļø
