About the EQ Leaderboard

The Equestrian Queensland (EQ) Leaderboard is an initiative introduced in 2017 to encourage participation of grassroots level riders and to increase support of participant level classes and EQ Affiliated Clubs in the disciplines of Dressage, Jumping & Eventing.

The response to the leaderboard in 2018 exceeded EQ’s expectations with more than 36 dressage events, 12 jumping events and 12 eventing events, tripling the size of the leaderboard. There were some small changes for 2019 in the number of events each affiliated club can have on the leaderboard to ensure all clubs have an equal opportunity to host leaderboard events.     

In 2019, 33 clubs held eligible events for the EQ Leaderboard with 36 dressage events, 13 jumping events and 16 eventing events.

During 2021, there were a total of 25 Dressage events, 17 Jumping events and 12 Eventing events for the EQ Leaderboard

Whilst the events in 2022 were significantly reduced due to the rain, 28 clubs continued to hold events that included classes for the EQ Leaderboard, which were comprised of 12 for Jumping, 11 for Eventing and 23 events for Dressage.

There has been increased support and participant from our Affiliated Clubs and members for the EQ Leaderboard initiative. To ensure there is fairness and that the spirit of the EQ Leaderboard remains, there have been some changes to the EQ Leaderboard criteria for 2023*. We will endeavour to continue to ensure growth and development across all the three disciplines and work to ensure the Leaderboard remains a success.  

Leaderboards

There are several awards within the EQ Leaderboard:

• Participant awards for each level within each discipline
• Interclub Challenge award: across the disciplines of Dressage, Jumping and Eventing to recognise the club that has had club members participating across all disciplines in the participant leaderboard
