RESULTS – BCTRA Video Competition 2022

July 11, 2022 – Para-equestrians from across the province participated in BC Therapeutic Riding Association’s second annual video competition and now the provincial organization is ready to reveal the results.

BCTRA welcomed 84 participants from four different riding centers in BC – Victoria Therapeutic Riding Association (VTRA), Richmond Therapeutic Riding Association (RTRA), and Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association (KTRA) and Manestream Equestrian. The competition allowed riders of all levels and abilities, to compete in the comfort of their own home arena or therapeutic riding center with the horses they have come to know and trust. Riders worked with their coaches to record themselves performing a specific pattern for each class and a team of volunteer judges evaluated each rider beside their peers.

“We would like to thank all our member centers, riders, and volunteer judges for making this a wonderful experience for all. BCTRA is so pleased to be able to offer this inclusive opportunity for all para-equestrian riders and participants,” says Sharolyn Wandzura, BCTRA President.

The results are listed below:
