An Evening with Gary Lung - from Grassroots to the World Stage, Exploring Para and Virtus Equestrian Pathways
Tuesday 10 November 2026 | 7:00pm (QLD time)
Online via Zoom | FREE – Everyone Welcome!
Have you ever wondered what opportunities exist within Para and Virtus Equestrian? Whether you're a rider just starting out, an experienced competitor with high-performance aspirations, a coach, parent, supporter or simply someone interested in learning more, this is an opportunity not to be missed!
The Dressage Queensland Para & Virtus Equestrian (DQPEV) Committee invites you to join a special online information session with Gary Lung, who has worked closely with Australian para-equestrian and support units, including involvement with Australian team training and preparations, as he shares his experiences, insights and passion for supporting athletes throughout their equestrian journey.
Gary recently travelled with the Australian Para Equestrian Team to the World Championships in Aachen, Germany, where he experienced firsthand the dedication, teamwork and preparation required to compete on the international stage. During this relaxed and informative session, Gary will share some of his experiences from Aachen, providing a fascinating insight into the world of elite Para Equestrian competition.
But reaching the international stage is only part of the story!
Gary will also explore the Para and Virtus Equestrian pathways, from grassroots participation through to elite competition, helping attendees better understand the opportunities available to riders at every stage of their journey.
Whether your goal is to enjoy riding at your local club, participate in your first competition, progress through state and national pathways, or one day represent Australia, this session will provide valuable information, encouragement and inspiration.
Importantly, you don't need to be an experienced competitor, an Equestrian Queensland member or even an active rider to participate. The session is open to absolutely anyone with an interest in Para and Virtus Equestrian.
We particularly encourage riders, families, coaches, clubs, volunteers and support people to join us. Building awareness and understanding of these pathways is an important step towards creating more opportunities for athletes of all abilities to participate and thrive in equestrian sport.
The session will be hosted via Zoom, providing an opportunity for people from across Queensland and beyond to connect, learn and hear directly from someone involved at the highest level of Para Equestrian sport.
Come along, be inspired, ask questions and discover where the Para and Virtus Equestrian pathways could take you!
