Jump Canada is the committee of Equine Canada that is responsible for all hunter, hunter equitation and jumper activities in Canada from the grass roots to the international level. Jump Canada is governed by a board of directors, the majority of whom are elected by the stakeholders in the sport. There are 20 board members and 14 sub-committees that are responsible for the operation of Jump Canada with the support of manager, Karen Hendry-Ouellette, who works from the Equine Canada offices in Ottawa. A complete outline of the Jump Canada structure and responsibilities can be found on our website www.jumpcanada.ca. CORE OBJECTIVES 1. To develop, build and grow Canada’s hunter/ jumper community at all levels. 2. To improve the effectiveness of communications to internal and external audiences. 3. To promote rider and horse development at an international level. 4. To administer and manage the Jump Canada organization. 5. To improve and increase funding and sponsorship base. Since its inauguration in 1998, Jump Canada has initiated important national programs, fostered grass roots development within the provinces, fielded successful teams at World Championships, Pan American Games and Olympic Games, and maintained financial responsibility. Owners are particularly important to the success of show jumping in Canada. Through their support of the athletes and ownership of their horses, owners make it possible for Canada to field competitive teams in international events. Their support is paramount to Canada’s success and, each year, Jump Canada presents the Owner of the Year Award in recognition of their invaluable contribution to the sport. Jump Canada has created a number of other programs and awards in order to recognize contributions to the sport and to provide support for participants. The following are the Jump Canada programs developed to date. The complete criteria for each program can be found on the Jump Canada website. • • • • • • • • • • • • ‘CAVALOR’ Athlete of the Month Sponsor of the Year Jump Canada Bursary Talent Squad Series Jump Canada Series Travel Assistance Official of the Year Venue Development Fund Officials’ Accessibility Fund Volunteer of the Year Owner of the Year Young Horse Development The Jump Canada levy allows us to support these national programs.

The following year, she and Leacock captured the Individual Gold Medal at the 1999 North American Young Riders’ Championship. Stepping up to the Grand Prix ranks, Erynn made her Nations’ Cup debut at the 2006 Spruce Meadows “Masters” tournament, helping Canada to achieve victory for the first time in the event’s history, and was named Equine Canada’s “Equestrian of the Year” for 2006. In March of 2007, she and Robin Van Roosendael delivered two clear rounds to help Canada win the Nations’ Cup competition in Wellington, Florida. Erynn is the professional trainer and coach for her family’s business, Looking Back Farm.

He quickly realized that potential by being named to the 2007 Canadian Team Short List where he has remained ever since. A successful 2007 season saw Gary place second in the $75,000 Kubota Cup Grand Prix at the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair followed by a win in the $40,000 Kubota Cup Grand Prix at Edmonton Northlands riding Hurricane.

Her first taste of international jumping success came at the 1997 North American Young Riders’ Championship where she captured Individual and Team Silver medals with Braveheart. At the age of 17, partnered with Ravenna Z, Frankie was selected to represent Canada at the 1998 National Horse Show in New York City, making her the youngest Canadian to ever ride on a Nations’ Cup team. In 2001, she participated in a Canadian Developing Riders Tour and, in 2004, furthered her European education by spending the season based in Holland and Belgium. It paid-off with a spot on the Wellington Nations’ Cup Team in 2005 as well as two major Grand Prix victories in Ottawa and Collingwood. In 2007, Frankie guided Picolien Zeldenrust to three clear rounds to place second in the €300,000 ($400,000 US) CN WorldWide Grand Prix in Wellington, Florida. Show jumping runs in the family – her parents, Alan and Sherry, were also show jumping competitors, as is her husband, Juan Ortiz of Venezuela. Frankie enjoys the support of several sponsors including Finish Line, Ariat, Bioniche Animal Health, Vettec, CWD, Running Fox, Exhibitor Lab, and Comfort Tech.

Following early beginnings that saw him train under the legendary Bert de Nemethy and win Nations’ Cup events for the United States, the Memphis native moved north in 1979 to marry Canadian Brenley Carpenter. Riding the Hannoverian stallion, Elute, Mac was the highest-placed Canadian rider at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. It was a feat he would repeat at the 2002 World Equestrian Games in Jerez, Spain, riding Cocu. His current grand prix string consists of Melinda, his Team Silver Medal partner at the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, and Ole, the winner of the $60,000 Kilkenny Cup Grand Prix at the highly-competitive 2008 Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, Florida. In addition to his skills as a rider, Mac is deservedly recognized for his coaching abilities having trained 1986 World Champion Gail Greenough. He counts 2003 Pan American Games contender, Mark Samuel, and 2002 World Equestrian Games teammate, Melissa Brown among his current clients at Southern Ways Stable.

In 2003, Karen and Conejo represented Canada at the World Cup Final in Las Vegas and the Pan American Games in the Dominican Republic.

With impressive results during the winter circuit in his hometown of Wellington, Florida, Darrin made the decision to spend the summer season in Canada contesting the 2007 Pan American Games Selection Trials. As fate would have it, he won the first two qualifying events in the Canadian World Cup League. In July, he led the victory gallop in the $70,000 World Cup Grand Prix Jumping du Quebec in Blainville, Quebec, and, one month later, claimed the $100,000 Caledon Equestrian Park Grand Prix in Palgrave, ON. At the close of the Canadian World Cup season, Darrin’s position in the standings earned him an invitation to the World Cup Final in Goteborg, Sweden, where he made his debut riding for Canada in international competition. Even more impressive is the fact that his horse, Catwalk, was bred in Canada.

At age 61, he is still on top of his game and hopes to make his ninth Olympic appearance in August of 2008. If Millar’s Olympic record is impressive for longevity, his Pan American Games record is equally so for his medal count. He has earned nine medals in eight Pan American Games, more than any other show jumper. In spite of his Olympic and Pan American Games records, it was the World Cup of show jumping where Millar first broke new ground. In 1988 and ’89, he and his legendary partner, Big Ben, became the first-ever horse and rider combination to win back-to-back World Cup Finals. The most decorated equestrian in Canadian history, Millar is a member of the Order of Canada, was Ontario’s Athlete of the Year in 1989, was inducted into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame in 1996, and was awarded an honourary doctorate by the University of Guelph, Ontario in 2005.

Her first taste of national success came in the mid-90’s when she qualified for the Talent Squad Finals at Toronto’s Royal Horse Show.

A fabulous 2005 season at Spruce Meadows riding Starlet saw Tamie receive the Chrysler Leading Canadian Rider Award. In 2006, Tamie was named a Canadian Team alternate for the World Equestrian Games in Aachen, Germany, and, after winning the $35,000 Kubota Cup Derby in Richmond, BC, riding Lucas, was crowned the Western Canada Kubota Cup Champion for the second year in a row. Horses are a way of life for Phillips and her family. Her mother, Merle Gardner, and her younger sister, Shawna Phillips, operate a horse business in Williams Lake, British Columbia.

After spending his first ten years in the city, Chris moved to a farm north of Toronto. There were sheep, chickens, goats - everything but horses. Tired of hearing Chris ask for a pony, his father finally relented, trading four goats for what would become a lifelong commitment for Chris. The first sign that Chris was destined for greatness came in 1994 when he topped the Kanatek Talent Squad and also received a Firestone Development Scholarship. Over the past five seasons, Chris has racked up impressive victories including back-to-back wins in the $125,000 CN Grand Prix and the $60,000 Kubota Cup Grand Prix during the Bromont International in July of 2006. That same year, Chris made his official Nations’ Cup debut in Wellington, contributing two clear rounds to help Canada secure victory, and represented Canada at the 2006 World Equestrian Games in Aachen, Germany. At the beginning of 2007, Chris headed to California to work with U.S. Equestrian Team member, Richard Spooner, and has been enjoying impressive results ever since, most notably in World Cup qualifying competition. When not riding, Chris can often be found on the golf course.
