All squads will be based on the General and Competition criteria as listed. 

In selecting and assessing potential squad members, the WA State Selectors will source information from and consult with a range of suitable personnel with the appropriate expertise and knowledge.

The Squad for the following year is selected based upon results from the preceding six to twelve months, as reviewed by the Selection Panel.  Combinations seen to be meeting the stated Competition and General Criteria will sent notification via post and, on behalf of the State Selection Panel, be invited to apply.  Should the combination wish to be considered for selection, they then must return the application form, profile, and signed Athlete Agreement & Code of Conduct by the stated date to the Equestrian WA High Performance Manager (HPM).  Current Squad riders will not be asked to reapply in writing, but will be invited to remain on the Squad should they continue to meet the stated criteria.  All currently listed Squad riders must return the necessary documentation, as sent to them via post, by the stated closing date or will forfeit their position to the Squad.  To maintain position on the Squad, members must continue to meet the general and competition criteria and will undergo performance reviews in January and June each year.
