The Equine Canada Competitions and Officials committees are pleased to announce the success of the second year of the Equine Canada Bronze Officials Subsidy Program Pilot.

With close to $6,000 awarded in 2011 to Bronze level competition organizers to assist them in securing licensed officials for their events; this is a program that has quickly made a significant difference to organizing clubs across the country. Overall over $12,000 has been awarded. By providing financial support evenly across this country and across all discipline and breed competitions, competitors have been assured of competing under the jurisdiction of highly trained and accredited judges and course designers at licensed competitions.

In 2011, 20 Bronze competitions representing the disciplines of hunter/jumper, endurance, driving, dressage, breed sports, reining, eventing, general performance and Pony Club in seven provinces received funding after undergoing an application process adjudicated by members of the Officials and Competitions committees.
