Clayton Feredericks and Bendigo at London 2012
Clayton Fredericks’ contract as the International Technical Advisor for the Canadian eventing team is coming to an end this month and Clayton has advised that he will be returning to competition in a bid to make the Australian eventing team for the World Equestrian Games in 2018
On his web site Clayton says that
“The last 4 years have certainly been interesting but years that I would not change. While as a Federation we may not have always had the smoothest lead up to Championships but I am proud of the fact that we always pulled together as a team. Since I took over the role in 2013, Canada has finished a team at every Championship, which is a testament to the grit and determination of everyone involved. Looking forward to the future, I hope this is one trait the Canadians can carry forward”
“Looking forward to 2017, I am excited with the challenge of re-establishing myself at the top level as a competitor and continuing to develop Fredericks Equestrian International and our sale horse program. With the recent announcement of Tryon as the WEG venue it has added some extra motivation to be qualified and in contention for what will be a ‘home games’ for all involved at Fredericks Equestrian. I have the support of a fantastic group of Australians living in North America with an exciting group of young horses and am really looking forward to the future challenge”
As part of past Australian eventing teams Clayton has won individual silver and team bronze at the 2006 World Equestrian Games in Aachen, team silver medal at the 2008 Hong Kong Olympic Games and was a member of the team at the London 2012 Olympic Games
