The Canadian dressage team, training in Wellington, Palm Beach County, is hosting a fundraising event on March 22 at The Stallion to support their preparation for the 2026 World Championships in Aachen, Germany. The event aims to raise CA$250,000, with a special focus on the $500 Club initiative, which seeks 300 donors to contribute $500 each to cover significant expenses like horse transportation to Europe. The evening will feature entertainment, a silent auction, and interactive activities, bringing together riders, Olympians, sponsors, and supporters to celebrate and mobilize around the team’s goals.

This fundraiser is crucial for the athletes’ success, as every dollar raised will directly support their journey to represent Canada internationally. The event promises a vibrant atmosphere filled with passion and camaraderie, emphasizing the collective strength of the equestrian community. Additionally, a March 5 digital edition of Soleil de la Floride will feature an interview with three Canadian riders training in Wellington, offering further insight into their dedication and aspirations.
