The Ontario Equestrian Federation is pleased to help five junior members reach their equestrian goals by presenting them with $1,000 each through the OEF Youth Bursary program.
Each year the OEF distributes a minimum of five $1,000 bursaries to youth based on their involvement with horses, their future goals, as well as letters of recommendations from their coaches. Family resources and academic achievements are also considered. The bursaries can be used towards riding lessons, clinics, competition fees, continuing education and other activities that will help them develop their skills.
Over 60 applications were received and were narrowed down to the following 2017 OEF Youth Bursary recipients:
- Shauna Lanigan
- Mackenzi Perry
- Taylor McCullough
- Magan Wilson
- Chantalle Fortin
