Company History
In late 1976, George Jacobsen founded the Canadian Equestrian Federation. It was the first-ever national governing body for both equestrian sport and industry. The CEF was the result of the National Equestrian Federation of Canada and the Canadian Horse Council merging together, which took place in November 1976.
Equestrian Canada governs Canada’s official relations with the Federation for Equestrian Sports (FEI), Canada’s equestrian relations with the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and the International Paralympic Committee. They also govern relations between the government of Canada and Canadian equestrians and industry professionals.
