The Canadian Equestrian Federation has announced the dressage Grand Prix squad for 2024. Canada has qualified teams in all three disciplines for the Olympics in Paris.
Leading up to next year, Equestrian Canada (EC) has therefore drafted a "National Team Program (NTP) – High Performance athlete lists" for 2024 for Dressage and Para Dressage.
EC communicated the following: "The EC National Team Program (NTP) was created to provide a pathway that increases the number of Canadian athletes achieving international podium performances. The NTP identifies athletes in the Train to Compete and Learn to Win stages of the Long-Term Equestrian Development (LTED) framework and supports their progression to the Learn to Win and Train to Win levels. In addition, the NTP is aligned with EC’s high performance strategies and funding partners, such as Sport Canada and the Athlete Assistance Program (AAP)."
