Competitive Team

Ride with Courage Competitive Team

Sponsored by the Courage family, is our competitive team. These riders compete monthly in the Equestrian Canada Para Dressage Video Competition series. Equestrian Canada allows riders with physical and/or cognitive disabilities to compete. To join the competitive team, riders must be able to ride independently though a 3-5 minute pattern, without support from an instructor or horse leader. Rainbow Riders was proudly given the 2021 High Point Riding Centre Award from Equestrian Canada to recognize the success of the competitive team, who “ride with courage”
