Toronto, Ontario – The Royal Horse Show will host the inaugural ‘Royal Canadian Freestyle Championship’ during the 2007 Royal Agricultural Winter Fair held November 2-11 at Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto, ON.

Six horse-rider combinations will perform Musical Freestyle programs over two nights, Wednesday, November 7, and Thursday, November 8. The two scores will be added together to determine the overall winner, who will then be crowned the Royal Dressage Freestyle Champion.

The introduction of the Royal Canadian Freestyle Championships comes following the International Equestrian Federation’s (FEI) decision to institute a North American World Cup League, thereby eliminating the need for a Canadian League Final, which the Royal has long hosted, attracting sold-out crowds.
