REMINDER—Dressage Canada National Youth Championships, September 13–14, 2008

July 11, 2025

Started in 2005, the Dressage Canada National Youth Championships provide a terrific platform for Canada’s emerging talent. The head-to-head format proves to be an exciting competition as riders sharpen their skills over the competition season, collecting valuable qualifying scores in order to represent their region. The Championships provide excellent training for the future as the qualifying system is structured in a similar fashion to that used for high performance senior athletes.

In the four regions of Pacific (British Columbia and Yukon), West (Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, North West Territories and Nunavut), East (Ontario and Quebec) and Atlantic (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland/Labrador), the Rider/Horse combinations must achieve a minimum qualifying score of 60% in the Team, Individual and Freestyle tests in order to compete at the Championships. Twenty five percent of the available spaces are then allotted to each of the four regions.

Successfully qualified competitors make the journey to compete against one another in what proves to be a very competitive environment.
