The Canadian equestrian federation has updated its national dressage squads on 1 June 2022 as part of the the Equestrian Canada National Team Program (NTP).
Canadian Tokyo Olympians Lindsey Kellock and Chris von Martels are both absent from the national A-squad from which the team for the 2022 World Championship Dressage in Herning will be selected.
NTP - LTED - AAP
The NTP is 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 Train to Win and Live to Win stages.
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).
The NTP cycle runs from January 1st to December 31st, and athlete nominations are reviewed twice per year in June and December.
