CEDL Young Horse Development Program

CEDL Young Horse Hunter

The purpose of the CEDL Young Horse Hunter Series is to encourage the development of young horses with a future in the show ring in the hunter disciplines. The goal of the program is to give Canadian breeders additional incentives to breed superior show hunter prospects. Competing on a level playing field, the horses are divided according to age and jump at a level suited to their development. This careful development allows the horses to gain valuable experience and advance to the higher levels of competition with confidence. The CEDL Young Horse Hunter Series also gives prospective buyers for the hunter and jumper markets an opportunity to view a large group of prospects in a competition setting. The program has also been developed as a feeder program to future Jump Canada Hunter Classics and International Hunter Derbies.
