International dressage competitor Julie Brougham has sadly passed away, age 67. Equestrian Sports NZ today released a statement, paying tribute to the talented athlete who represented New Zealand at the Rio Olympics in 2016 and the World Equestrian Games in Tryon in 2018.
“It is with much sadness ESNZ and Dressage NZ advise the passing of Julie Brougham. Julie has been many things to many people within our sport – a fellow athlete, a friend, a judge and an inspiration in everything she strived for and achieved.
“At international level Julie represented NZL at both the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and World Games in Tryon 2018 on her beloved Vom Feinsten (Steiny).
“Her passion for all things dressage and the vast knowledge she generously shared with others will be a continuing legacy for riders who dream to follow and emulate the new standards she and Steiny set for New Zealand.
“ESNZ and the wider equestrian family share their condolences with Julie’s immediate family, David, Nicholas and Katrina.”
Julie has attended numerous CDIs in Australia over the years, including at Boneo Park and the Sydney CDI. The Equestrian Life team wishes to express our sincere condolences to Julie’s family and friends.
