Para-Dressage Classification


Hub Coming to Newmarket, ON in September 2017


Ottawa, ON, Aug. 23, 2017 - Equestrian Canada (EC) is pleased to announce that a Para-Equestrian Classification Hub will be hosted in Newmarket, ON on Sept. 6, 2017.


What: Para-Equestrian Classification Hub When: Sept. 6, 2017 Where: Holiday Inn Express & Suites New- market – 100 Pony Dr., Newmarket, ON L3Y 7B6 Cost: $100 Registration Deadline: Aug. 30, 2017 Classification is available to athletes


who are actively competing at the EC Bronze level and are ready to progress to Silver and Gold. Athletes must have a recognized med- ical condition resulting in an impairment that can be measured objectively. Please note, not all athletes who have an


impairment are eligible for classification. For example, a symptom such as lax ligaments, general pain, or an impairment that changes from day-to-day is not classifiable. In addi- tion, riders must have more than a 15% loss of power, range or coordination in any limb or the trunk to be eligible for classification. Athletes are responsible for their own


travel costs, and must bring one person with them into the classification session. It is strongly recommended that they bring their coach if they are available, so any compen- sating aids can be discussed with the classi- fier.


Those interested in participating in the


Classification Hub are encouraged to request a classification package. The package must be completed by the athlete, as well as their coach and medical doctor, and returned to EC no later than Aug. 30, 2017. To request a package, contact: Jamie-Ann Goodfellow Coordinator, Para-Equestrian jgoodfellow@equestrian.ca 1-866-282-8395 x 146


The Classification Advisory Group will


review the documentation and the athlete will be notified if they are eligible for classifica- tion.


The next opportunity for athletes to re-


ceive classification in Ontario will be in 2018.
