Para-Equestrian Programs
Para-Equestrian has recently implemented a number of programs that
support development in the areas of athletes, coaches, officials, and
competitions. Many of these initiatives are integrated with sport
participation projects that are supported through Sport Canada.
Examples of projects that are currently being implemented by Para-Equestrian Canada include:
Program Objectives:
- To provide an awareness of Para-Equestrian sport to children and adults with disabilities in therapeutic programs
- To identify children and adults with a disability who have an interest in equestrian sport
- To
encourage the development of programs which will provide opportunities
for people to participate in the ‘awareness’ and ‘first contact’ stages
of athlete development
- To provide a link from therapeutic riding programs to competitive programs
- To provide competitive opportunities for riders with a disability
- To identify talented athletes who have the potential to become Senior National Team Members
