Canada’s dressage talent is highly competitive, and the country’s top dressage riders are known for their international successes. Canadian high-level dressage athletes put 100 percent of their efforts into improving their skills and scores and developing winning relationships with their horses.

The riders themselves aren’t the only ones who are so dedicated to Canadian dressage that they give their all to make it successful- the Canadian Dressage Athlete Assistance Program (C-DAAP) also gives 100 percent of its net proceeds from all fundraising events to riders.

The organization is completely dedicated to raising funds to help Canada’s dressage athletes offset the costs of training and competing. In just the past two years, over $130,000 was awarded to riders with another $80,000 planned to be given this summer. With the help of C-DAAP, Canadian dressage is quickly taking a stand as a formidable global competitor as all four of its 2015 Pan American Games Dressage Team members have received support from C-DAAP in the past.
