The CPEDI3* Grade I Individual Test went to Marnie Clapham and Cherrymount Rhetorik on 63.333%, while the CPEDI3* Grade II Individual Test was won by Maddisonm Cooke and Byalee Magic II on an impressive 70%. The CPEDI3* Grade III Individual Test was won by Kelly Ffrost and Highfield Luda Dijon on 61.470%.

The CPEDI3* classes are the first observation event for FEI World Championship selection and provide combinations with a chance to secure FEI MERs as well as scores that address EA Para Dressage Selection Criteria.

FEI MERs for para dressage require riders to have achieved a minimum score of 62% in the Team or Individual Test at a CPEDI3* or above during the qualification period. The Australian selection criteria also requires combinations to provide two Team and two Individual Test scores from selected observation events this year, with scores of 70% and above in particular of interest to selectors.

The Para Dressage Nationals are being held as part of the Leader Equine Dressage Spectacular at Boneo Park, an event run by Carlton Performance Horses that also offers EA level para classes, EA Prelim to Grand Prix classes, and even HRCAV divisions. Competition continues today.
