Dear Friends,

I hope this note finds you well. I am writing on behalf of Equine Canada, the national governing body for equestrianism, to invite you to cheer on our Canadian Equestrian Team as they head off for the Olympics and Paralympics.

You can subscribe to Equine Canada’s e-newsletter for up-to-the-moment news of team developments and results at http://www.equinecanada.ca/enews.php

You can also view an account of our horses and riders, their disciplines on the Equine Canada website at http://www.equinecanada.ca/cet.php Live video of their performances are online at www.cbc.ca/olympics

Finally, you can now read a full online edition of HorseLife, our official national magazine, at http://www.equinecanada.ca/horselife.php

The 2008 contingent is undoubtedly one of the strongest Canadian Equestrian Teams we have ever sent to the Summer Games, and we have great hopes for the medal podium. Nevertheless, we are proudest that our team takes to the field of competition riding first and foremost for our country’s honour.

I hope you will join us in supporting our equestrian athletes at the Olympics and Paralympics, and in encouraging them on to victory.

With best wishes,

Akaash Maharaj
CEO, Equine Canada
