London, Ontario native Dorinda “Dinnie” Greenway will be inducted into the London Sports Hall of Fame in November.

Greenway is an accomplished equestrian and international judge. She was one of the first female riders to compete internationally, and was winner of the first international show jumping competition at the 1949 Royal Horse Show. Two years later, she won the first Canadian international dressage competition at the same venue.

Greenway’s family is very well-known on the Canadian horse show scene. Her parents, judge G. A. P. Brickenden and Catherine (McCormick) Brickenden, were some of the first to breed sport horses and were important members of the showing and hunting communities.
