To our equestrian community:
We are aware of concerns regarding a video involving our award recipient for Equestrian of the Year. The video is under review in accordance with our safe sport policies which are administered by our independent third-party complaints process.
We understand this is a concern for our community and want to assure you we are committed to ensuring a fair, respectful, and thorough process.
In light of the concerns, and out of respect for the integrity of our awards and our community, we have decided to pause the award pending the outcome of the complaint process.
We understand that this is difficult and emotional for many, and we are committed to approaching it with fairness, transparency, and care for all involved. We will provide an update once the process is complete.
While we cannot provide specifics of ongoing processes, please direct any inquiries to Meg Krueger, CEO, Equestrian Canada at ceo@equestrian.ca.
