Reminder—Leased Horses still needed for May 2010 CPEDI3* event

April 1, 2010

Ottawa, ON --- Para-Equestrian Canada is once again putting out a call to all dressage horse owners, requesting they lease or loan their animals for the upcoming May 2010 WindReach International Para-Dressage Competition CPEDI3* near Toronto. International riders are still looking to lease dressage horses of all levels from walk/trot through to Prix St. George for the event held May 28-30th, 2010 in Ashburn, Ontario.

The desired horses will be in good physical health, have an even temperament and work ethic while also possessing some dressage show experience. It should be noted, however, that horses must be exclusively available to the rider from May 20th through to May 30th, 2010. The pricing, lease arrangements and training period will be arranged by the horse owner and rider.

Other competition requirements include that Canadian-owned horses be registered with EC and have a valid vaccination certificate. They may be subjected to FEI Equine Medication Control Testing at the event, and must pass a horse inspection, or trot up, to be eligible to compete.

For more information, interested owners are requested to contact Irena Seifert of Para-Equestrian Canada by phone (1-866-282-8395 ext. 143) or via e-mail at iseifert@equinecanada.ca.

About Para-Equestrian Sport

Para-Equestrian sport provides riders with a physical disability the opportunity to compete against other riders with similar abilities. Riders are given a “Grade” based on their functional ability, and are judged on their riding skill against other athletes of the same Grade. There are five grades of competitions in dressage, with Grade IA representing the more severely impaired riders, and Grade IV representing the least severely impaired riders. Many Para-Equestrian athletes also compete alongside able-bodied competitors in Equine Canada competitions. At the grass roots level, Para-Equestrian encompasses a number of different disciplines, while the international stream focuses only on Para-Dressage.
