Three days, three disciplines. Riders from the provinces and territories battled it out for the ultimate in bragging rights during the Canadian Interprovincial Equestrian Championships (CIEC), sponsored by Equinety and hosted by Equine Canada, at Wesley Clover Parks in Ottawa, Ontario, September 25 through 27.

After three days of intense competition across the three different disciplines of reining, dressage and jumping, Team Quebec emerged victorious, claiming the highly coveted CIEC Cup for the second consecutive year. They earned the overall title after capturing gold in reining, silver in dressage and bronze in jumping. Team Ontario earned the overall silver, while Team Nova Scotia took home the bronze.

“I’m very proud of our entire team. Everyone came together really well, everyone worked hard and we’re really happy with our results,” said Caroline Dejordy, Team Quebec’s chef d’équipe. “This event really develops the athlete’s ability to deal with a more stressful situation because your points do count for a team. It really prepares riders for the future and I think it’s a great event.”
