NBEA LTED – Jumping Team
The NBEA piloted a Long-Term Equestrian Development (LTED) Program in
2011. This program’s goal is to encourage riders to train with competition
coaches. Technical skill development and education, in addition to the Rider
Level requirements, prepare each rider for the competition ring. This year, in
New Brunswick, more than 20 EC sanctioned competitions are planned for the
2015 show season.
The New Brunswick Equestrian Association continues to support certified
coaching and competitor training for competition in all disciplines.
The Canadian Interprovincial Equestrian Championship (CIEC) was introduced in
2010. This competition, developed by the Provinces, provides an opportunity
for athletes to compete as members of a Provincial Team at a National
Championship competition. Participation in the CIEC has enriched NBEA’s
provincially funded sport profile in several areas previously not supported. This
has resulted in increased provincial sport funding for NBEA sport. Discipline
teams have the opportunity to participate in Team Training Camps, Team Try
Outs and Team Trials, ultimately allowing them opportunity to advance to a
provincial team competing in a nationally sanctioned competition.
In 2015, the NBEA’s focus is on identifying and developing athletes interested
in qualifying for the CIEC in the Dressage and Jumping disciplines. Selected
athletes will train and compete under the direction of the LTED coaches. Teams
representing New Brunswick at the Canadian Interprovincial Equestrian
Championship will travel to Ottawa and compete from September 25-27, 2015.
Riders registering for the LTED program in 2015 will do so with the intention of
competing at the CIEC. If selected for their respective team, riders must train in
preparation for the competition with the team coach and compete in the CIEC.
Riders who are not available for team selection or competition are not
eligible for participation in the LTED program.
