PEC Athlete Ranking List

Para-Equestrian Canada (PEC) has developed a system that ranks athletes in sequential order based on
their performances in specific tests at specific types of competitions to identify the top Para-Dressage
athletes in Canada. The short list consists of the top international riders while the long list is composed of
developmental and national-level riders. The ranking list is updated frequently throughout the year, and is
referenced for purposes of allocating programming and program funding (such as the Athlete Assistance
Program) to riders.

The short-listed riders will be ranked based on twelve (12) scores with a minimum of six (6) scores
obtained at an FEI CPEDI event. The long-listed riders will be ranked based on six (6) scores obtained at
a national-level (or above) competition. All scores must be obtained within the twelve (12) month period
immediately prior to the date the ranking list is updated.

Note: The criteria for selecting athletes to international team competition is independent of the PEC
ranking criteria/list.
