Leased Horses Needed for May 2010 CPEDI 3* Event

Ottawa, ON—Para-Equestrian Canada is seeking out 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 will be looking to lease dressage horses of all levels from walk/trot through to Prix St. George for the event held May 28-30, 2010 in Ashburn, Ontario.

“This event is going to draw accomplished Para-Dressage athletes from all over the world,” said Isabel Reinertson, chair of Para-Equestrian Canada, “and we hope Ontario owners will offer them the talent and ability of their horses.”

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 subject 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 Amie O’Shaughnessy of Para-Equestrian Canada by phone (1-866-282-8395 ext. 134) or via e-mail at aoshaughnessy@equinecanada.ca.
