September 21 - 23, 2012
Established in 2011, The Canadian Equestrian Championships are a multi-discipline competition whereby provincial/territorial equestrian organizations field teams representing their respective province/territory. This event is a key event in the development of Equestrian's next generation of national, international and Olympic champions. This event affords an opportunity for athletes in the "Learning and Training to Compete" stages of development to test their skills with their competitive peers from all over the country, while at the same time providing an avenue for talent identification. In addition to Team awards, the Canadian Equestrian Championships honor the individual Junior and Senior Champion in the divisions of Jumper - 1.1 meter, Dressage - Level 1, and Reining.
Working in association with the Alberta Equestrian Federation, Jump Alberta is seeking applications to send a 1.10m Jumper Team to the Canadian Equestrian Championships in Bromont, Quebec. |
