48/ MAY 2010 THE RIDER Jump Canada Establishes Competition Task Force
Ottawa, ON — Jump Canada has established a task force to review its current Jump Canada Compe- tition Policy, to update it for future years and to answer the continuing need to keep it current with the existing status of the sport in Canada.
The task force is charged with examining all aspects of the current Jump Canada Competi- tions Policy and recommending any changes to the current policy that they consider would better serve our sport. The task force will examine the competition policies of other countries. Particular attention shall be paid to the current policy dealing with date exclusivity and date renewal. The relationship that FEI sanctioned events play rela- tive to national tournament sanc- tioning shall also be examined as well as the effect that major games have on important FEI and Equine Canada competitions. A focus on establishing a forward looking, multi-year calendar will also be maintained.
“We are reviewing the com- petition policies of other coun-
Members of the task force will be in contact with competi- tion organizers, riders, competi- tors and officials across the coun- try over the next few months for input and background.
The Task Force will bring forward recommendations to the Jump Canada Board no later than the Board meeting at the RAWF in November, 2010. An interim report to the Jump Canada Board in September is also planned. Members of the Jump Canada Task Force Committee

The mandate of the agri- cultural fair has always been to advance the standards of and promote the understanding of agricultural and rural living. The fair tries to promote a bet- ter understanding between rural and urban societies using pre- sentations such as our popular Ag Awareness area in the Equine world section of the fair.
fair, horse classes included Draft horses and other classes (Agricultural) which included a combination of light and heavy horses and western ponies but no specific breeds or bloodlines were acknowledged. 1940’s - Horses became more specialized and draft classes became more specific such as Percheron, Clydesdale, Belgian and others found in the area. The availability of specific breeds of mares and stallions depended on imports from Europe. Men who acquired purebred stallions would “trav- el” their horses to make them available to farmers during breeding season. ie. Alexander Ward “traveled” his purebred Clydesdale from Mono down through Adjala, Caledon, Erin, much of Peel county and Duf- ferin county. A postcard would be printed with the photo and pedigree of the stallion and the route he would be following with the start date and approxi- mate end date. This practice
