It’s been 29 days since the EC office shut its doors and staff has moved to working from home. In that time, we have shared in your concern for the future of our horses, sport, country and world. But we have also been motivated by the unshakable passion of equestrians, the fortitude and generosity of Canadians nationwide, and this unlikely opportunity to support and celebrate the incredible community around us.
EC remains committed to providing support and resources for the Canadian equestrian community during the COVID-19 pandemic. Make sure to keep informed on the latest updates via our online statement.
