The provincial and territorial equestrian federations across Canada have announced two new programs being introduced nationwide to support equestrian show jumping athletes under the age of 25. The programs are being designed to help identify those who have potential to become Canada’s next high performance athletes.

Funding for the programs has been graciously provided by the J.C. Anderson Family Foundation and the J.C. Anderson Legacy Fund through The Calgary Foundation and the Alberta Sport Connection Donation Program to the Alberta Equestrian Federation (AEF). John Anderson, a member of the Canadian Equestrian Team, has helped make this funding and programs possible.

The J.C. Anderson Legacy Medal will be a Jumper based Medal Series open to ANY athlete under the age of 25 as of January 1, 2018. Medal classes will be held at competitions across the country at 1.20m-1.25m. Any competitor who competes in a minimum of two J.C. Anderson Legacy Medal classes during the year will be eligible to compete in the Eastern Regional Finals (Angelstone) and the Western Regional Finals (Rocky Mountain Show Jumping).
