Canadian dressage rider Brittany Fraser Beaulieu and her horse Jaccardo have qualified for the 2026 FEI dressage World Cup Final, set for April 7–12, 2026 in Fort Worth, Texas. This marks the first time since 2013 that a Canadian has earned a spot in this prestigious event, which features only 18 top horse-rider pairs worldwide, with just three qualifying from the North American League. Their qualification was secured through consistent high scores in the 2025/2026 FEI dressage World Cup North American League, highlighted by a personal best freestyle score at the 2026 Adequan® Global dressage Festival.
Jaccardo, a 12-year-old KWPN gelding owned by Jill Irving, has quickly risen as a promising Grand Prix horse known for his expressive movement and strong presence. The achievement reflects the dedication of Fraser Beaulieu, the talent of Jaccardo, and the support from their team, signaling a bright future for Canadian dressage on the international stage. The 2026 Final will be held alongside the FEI Jumping World Cup Final, celebrating elite equestrian sport at Dickies arena.
