Reining Canada Thanks its Members for
Fantastic 2007!
Reining Canada is proud to reflect upon the success of 2007
and would like to take this opportunity to highlight several important programs
that were in place during 2007.
Affiliate Program
The Affiliate Program is just one of Reining Canada's
purposes, but a very important one for many Canadian Reiners. Reining Canada has
put considerable effort and resources into the Affiliate Program to ensure its
success including providing regular communication venues among Canadian Regional
Affiliates and providing funds towards the hosting of Affiliate Circuits and
NRHA approved shows. At the end of the year Reining Canada will forward each
Affiliate who hosted an Affiliate Circuit $500 in addition to $50 for every NRHA
approved show that the Affiliate ran. Reining Canada wishes the best of luck to
the many representatives headed to the Adequan North American Championship at
the end of the month.
Reining Canada Education Program
Reining Canada believes in providing opportunities within
Canada for individuals to better their education on reining and how to manage
reining events to that end in 2007 Reining Canada provided funding towards the
hosting of NRHA Judges Seminars and NRHA Show Secretary Seminars.
Reining Canada Beginner Program
Reining Canada is excited at acknowledging the success of the
grassroots participants in reining and was pleased to see the Reining Canada
Beginner Program grow during 2007. The Reining Canada Beginner Class was offered
at several shows across Canada. Reining Canada would like to Congratulate Eric
Mesley from Ontario for earning the Reining Canada Beginner Champion Title for
2007 and Sharon Carlson from Saskatchewan for sliding into the Reserve Champion
spot. For complete results please visit the Reining Canada website.
Reining Canada Young Rider Program
A big initiative for Reining Canada for 2007 was to undertake
the development of youth programs and the Young Rider Program is a result of
that initiative. Reining Canada was pleased to see an Eastern and Western Finals
for the Young Rider Class and very excited to see some dynamic youth
participating in the Classes. Full Results and more details on the Young Rider
Program will be available in the next Slidin'
Reining Canada and Equine Canada Sports Agreement
The Sports Agreement with Equine Canada allows Reining Canada
to provide a connection between the reining community and Equine Canada. While
one purpose of the Equine Canada is to give Reiners the opportunity to
participate in International Events such as the FEI World Reining Masters or the
FEI World Equestrian Games there are numerous other benefits for Canadian
Reiners as well.
The Sports Agreement with Equine Canada provides Canadian
Reiners and Canadian Reining Breeders access to some very important programs
and funds designed for the sole intention of promoting Canadian Reining Horses
worldwide. Take for example, the Canadian Reining Breeders Directory
initiative that Reining Canada has recently undertaken. The Directory is a
direct result of the alliance with Equine Canada. The Equine Canada Funding
Program which Reining Canada just recently announced, allows Canadian Reiners on
Canadian Bred Horses to recoup some of their expenditures when competing at
International Events such as the North American Affiliate Finals.
As the Reining Canada and Equine Canada continues to develop
reiners in Canada can expect to see more programs and initiatives undertaken to
promote Canadian Horses and Canadian Reiners outside of Canada.
And....
Reining Canada worked on several other initiatives including
the establishment of this eNewsletter to foster information flow to reining
enthusiasts and a new more functional website. Reining Canada would sincerely
like to take the opportunity to thank and acknowledge the support it received in
2007 from it members, the Canadian Affiliates and is looking forward to building
upon 2007's success in 2008!
