Travel Program

  The purpose of the CADORA BC Travel Program is to help defray the costs of transporting horses/ponies and riders from outlying areas to the BC Dressage Championships. In recent years the BCDC has been run by, and held at, the Southlands Riding Club in Vancouver. The CADORA BC Travel Program is also applicable to the Rising Stars Youth Dressage Competition that is held annually in Chilliwack. Therefore, CADORA BC members from outside the lower mainland ie. the islands, interior, northern BC, etc... can apply for travel funding to attend the BCDC and/or the RSYDC with their horse/pony. CADORA BC requests that chapters running shows throughout the year contribute $1 per entry from provincial shows and $2 per entry from national shows to the travel fund.
