Equestrian Canada – Ottawa, ON, Jan. 10, 2018 – Equestrian Canada (EC) is pleased to introduce the Am I Ready Program, created as a tool for EC Dressage Affiliates to receive feedback from certified officials without leaving the comfort of their home stable.

Am I Ready features an online portal that allows athletes to record their performances of EC Dressage Tests at their own stable, and upload the videos for review and evaluation from an EC certified dressage judge. Tests of all levels can be uploaded, from Training to FEI.

Available exclusively to EC Dressage Affiliates, Am I Ready is a user-friendly, cost-effective and convenient development resource for Canadian dressage athletes from coast-to-coast – or anywhere in the world! A digital video recorder (or even simply a smartphone or tablet) and internet access is all that is needed to take advantage of the following benefits:

• Real-World Feedback: Athletes and their personal coaches can review test feedback from EC certified dressage judges and identify areas for improvement.
• Competition Preparation: Those looking to enter EC sanctioned competitions for the first time, or advance to a higher level of competition, can get a leg-up on preparation by implementing judge feedback at home before entering the ring.
• Development Opportunities: Those who don’t want to travel to EC sanctioned competitions, or don’t have access to competitions in their geographic area, can receive formal evaluations from EC sanctioned dressage judges without leaving their stable.

Please Note: A launch announcement for the French version of the Am I Ready online portal and accompanying materials will be made at a later date.
