Ottawa, ON—Para-Equestrian Canada is pleased to announce the return of the Sea-to-Sea Para-Dressage Video Competition series with the addition of an entry-level series this year entitled the Coast-to-Coast Para-Equestrian Introductory Video Competition series. 

The Coast-to-Coast Introductory Video Competition series is geared toward therapeutic riding centres that are planning to conduct shows at their facility. The top three riders in eligible classes at each of the centre’s show(s) can submit a video of their performance for further judging against other riders from across the country.

The Sea-to-Sea Para-Dressage Video Competition series is a video competition series for more advanced riders. As the number of participants for this series is reduced, it is not necessary to qualify the entry into the national competition. Riders can simply tape themselves at their stable or as part of a local horse club show that has agreed to include the FEI Dressage Test designated for their grade.

Greenhawk Harness Inc. will be co-sponsoring all first, second and third place prizes along with Para-Equestrian Canada for each of the competitions this year. The partnership with Greenhawk and their generous support has enabled Para-Equestrian Canada to expand the number of competitions to ensure that more riders will have an opportunity to experience competition conditions in the comfort of their home stable and on a familiar horse.
