Para-Equestrian riders from across the country took part in the first leg of the 2016 Video Competition Series, which kicked off in March and will continue until November.
The series includes the Sea-to-Sea Para-Dressage program, which focuses solely on Para-Dressage, and the Coast-to-Coast program, which offers classes in a variety of disciplines, from Equitation to Obstacle Courses to Combined Jumping. New in 2016 is the introduction of a division comprised of Test of Choice classes for athletes who have competed up to the EC Gold level.
