Syd’s ParaQuest was founded in 2010 to support the goal of disabled Junior/Young Rider, Sydney Collier, as she and her horse, Wentworth progressed from developing rider to High Performance Athlete. With the support of the Team ParaQuest members, the first steps of Sydney's goal - becoming a member of the US Para Dressage team and participating in the 2014 Alltech World Equestrian Games - were fulfilled. 


Syd's ParaQuest is now actively focused on supporting Sydney's next goal - to represent the USA at the 2016 Paralympics in Rio. The steps to achieve this goal require active support from individuals interested in investing in a young rising star. 


All money raised will be used for costs associated with training, travel, horse care, and show entries for Sydney and Wentworth's bid to become part of the US Para-Dressage Team for the 2016 Paralympics. Thank you for your support!
