Are You Ready to Compete at the International Level ?

The Canadian Eventing Development Foundation (CEDF) is proud to offer the FEI Athlete Program—a focused initiative created to support Canada’s top Eventing athletes as they advance through Equestrian Canada's development stages: Train to Compete, Learn to Win, and Train to Win.

This program is specifically for athletes actively competing at FEI 1* level or higher and provides access to exclusive financial incentives where available, including:

Targeted funding support
Opportunities for sponsorship connections
Training gear discounts
Access to advanced coaching and certification programs
Assistance with costs

CEDF’s goal is to provide opportunities for high performance training, and reduce the financial barriers that come with high-performance competition, allowing you to stay focused on your training, progress, and performance at the national and international level.

To apply, submit the following application along with your competition record and short personal statements outlining your Eventing goals and commitment to the sport.

Membership is free for the 2025 season—but only for a limited time.

If you're serious about representing Canada and reaching your full potential in Eventing, this is your opportunity to align with a foundation that shares your ambition.
