What is
Jump Canada?
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
technical manager, Gill Perkins, 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.

Gary Brewster
Birthplace:
London, England
Birthdate:
June 21, 1970
Hometown:
West Vancouver, BC
Gary Brewster is one of Canada’s brightest stars for the future of show jumping. Having worked his way up the ranks,
Gary is now a mainstay at the Grand Prix level, competing throughout Canada and the United States.
Following a successful 2005 season, Gary was named to the 2006 Jump Canada Talent Squad, a means of recognizing
competitors with the potential to become future members of the Canadian Show Jumping Team. He quickly realized
that potential by being named to the 2007 Canadian Team Short List.
At the end of a successful 2006 season, Gary found himself placed fourth, fifth and sixth overall in the Kubota Cup
Western Series with his string of Grand Prix horses. His success in the 2007
Kubota Cup Series looks as though it will continue as he began the season
by placing second place in the $75,000 Kubota Cup Grand Prix at the Royal
Manitoba Winter Fair.

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

Ian Millar
Birthplace:
Halifax, Nova Scotia
Birthdate:
January 6, 1947
Hometown:
Perth, Ontario
With eight Olympic starts, Ian Millar has competed in more Olympic Games than any athlete in Canadian history, in any
sport. At age 60, he is still on top of his game and hoping to represent Canada at future Olympic Games.
If Millar’s Olympic record is impressive for longevity, his Pan American Games record is equally so for his medal count.
He has earned eight medals in seven 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.

Hyde Moffatt
Birthplace:
Port Hope, Ontario
Birthdate:
June 19, 1979
Hometown:
Brantford, Ontario
Andrew Hyde Moffatt had an unusual introduction to horses. When he was five years old, a girl at school brought in her
horse for show-and-tell and Hyde was hooked!
His top horse is Ting Tin, purchased in Belgium as a six-year-old. Hyde describes Ting Tin as a brave, intelligent
and energetic horse who loves to play with people, but gets bored easily. Starting their Grand Prix career together in
2004, Hyde and Ting Tin have enjoyed top ten finishes at several of the biggest horse shows in Canada including the
Capital Classic Show Jumping Tournament, the Collingwood Horse Show, Tournament of Champions, and the Royal
Agricultural Winter Fair.
When he is not showing in the Grand Prix ring, Hyde competes with several
horses in the Young Horse Development Series including Baron, who was
crowned the 2006 Ontario Six-Year-Old Champion.
In addition to his equestrian pursuits, Hyde also enjoys long distance
running.

Tamie Phillips
Birthplace:
Kamloops, British Columbia
Birthdate:
December 1, 1972
Hometown:
Strathmore, Alberta
Growing up on a ranch in Kamloops, British Columbia, Tamie Phillips started taking formal jumping lessons at the age of
nine and, after successfully showing as a teenager, turned professional on her 18th birthday. 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.
In 2004, Tamie moved to Strathmore, Alberta, where she operates Caragana Show Jumpers. 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. Tamie and her mother bred both Lucas
and Starlet, promising indications of what their small breeding program is
capable of producing.

Chris Pratt
Birthplace:
Toronto, Ontario
Birthdate:
April 18, 1969
Hometown:
Belfountain, Ontario
For Chris Pratt, it all began with four goats. 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 immediately enjoyed
impressive results such as his win in the $50,000 Grand Prix in Del Mar.
When not riding, Chris can often be found on the golf course.

Birthplace:
Ottawa, Ontario
Birthdate:
September 6, 1983
Hometown:
Kanata, Ontario
Kelley Small first began riding at the age of ten when she attended a summer riding camp. At 13, she began training
with Canadian Equestrian Team member Jill Henselwood, who coached her to Team Gold and Team Bronze medals as
a member of the Ontario Junior Team at the 2000 and 2001 North American Young Riders’ Championship. In 2004, she
was Canada’s top performer in the Championship division.
One year after winning the $10,000 Talent Squad Phase II Championship class at the 2003 Royal Horse Show, Kelley
made her Grand Prix debut and finished the season tied for third in the Canadian World Cup League standings. In
2005, a successful summer spent at Spruce Meadows gave Kelley Short Listed status with the Canadian Show Jumping
Team for the second consecutive year. She was also asked to join “Team Molson”, a program for aspiring world-class
show jumping athletes. In 2006, Kelley and her top mount, Calibur, won
the $30,000 Hagyard Grand Prix in Kentucky and placed fifth in both the
Canadian Championships and the U.S. Grand Prix League Final.
In April of 2007, Kelley opened her own training and sales business at
Ashland Farm in Ashton, Ontario, where she will also train Ashland Farm’s
young horses.

Ainsley Vince
Birthplace:
Oakville, Ontario
Birthdate:
August 3, 1976
Hometown:
Milton, Ontario
Following a successful junior career, Ainsley Vince was named to the Canadian Equestrian Team in 1995 after enjoying
consistent finishes in several World Cup Qualifiers riding Hocus Pocus.
Ainsley’s top mount is the veteran campaigner, Catch 22, a gelding that she purchased as a six-year-old. The pair made
their international debut riding for Canada at the 1999 Washington International Horse Show before helping Canada win
their second consecutive Bank of Montreal Nations’ Cup at Toronto’s Royal Horse Show.
One of this country’s most successful horse-rider combinations, Ainsley and Catch 22 were back-to-back Canadian
Show Jumping Champions in 2001 and 2002. Ainsley and Catch 22 have
represented Canada at the annual World Cup Final on three occasions, in
2000, 2003 and 2004. Also in 2004, Ainsley and Catch 22 were members of
the winning Canadian Team in the Nations’ Cup in Wellington, Florida.
Ainsley recently opened her own training and sales business on her parents’
farm in Milton, Ontario. Her two younger sisters, Courtney and Sydney, are
also successful show jumping competitors.

Courtney Vince enjoyed great success as a junior and young rider winning a Team Bronze Medal at the 1996 North

Her current top horse is Nalla, a Dutch Warmblood mare that Courtney began showing in 2005. Together they have
contested several top grand prix events, including a third place finish in the $100,000 World Cup Qualifier at the 2006
Tournament of Champions, and, in the fall of 2006, competed in Europe with impressive results.
Courtney trains at Eric Lamaze’s Torrey Pines Stables in Schomberg, Ontario.
Her older sister, Ainsley, and younger sister, Sydney, are also successful
show jumping athletes.
Courtney holds her degree in Economics from the University of Toronto.

Married to Betsy, the couple has two children and make their home in Hockley Valley, Ontario.
