Omega Alpha and Sandridge Saddlery Sponsor the
Programme de développement de l’excellence
The
Programme de développement de l’excellence has acquired the
support of two new sponsors: Sandridge Saddlery and
Omega Alpha Pharmaceuticals Inc. The goal of this
program, which is run by the Fédération équestre du Québec (FEQ), is
to support promising athletes in the three Olympic equestrian
disciplines: dressage, eventing and show jumping. Riders are
categorized as Espoir, Relève, Élite
or Excellence and receive bursaries and tax credits accordingly.
Mr. Richard Mongeau, General Manager of the FEQ,
maintains that the new money will help to increase the number of
activities offered to athletes selected for the 2010 program.
Training camps, divided into theoretical and personalized practical
sessions, will be held and structured according to an athlete’s
discipline and category. These sessions will be held in the spring
with the goal of preparing for the upcoming show season.
It is not unusual that these two successful
businesses would lend their support to a program that officially
recognizes tomorrow’s up-and-coming equestrian stars. Tracey
Dickson, President of Sandridge Saddlery, has been a long-time
supporter of riders competing in regional and provincial
competitions and is very pleased and excited to now be contributing
towards the development of elite equestrian athletes in Quebec. In
addition to the sponsorship money, Ms. Dickson has also promised to
provide all selected riders with a 20% store discount card, which
can be used towards all purchases. Omega Alpha is an equally
enthusiastic supporter of the FEQ’s Programme de développement de
l’excellence. Patti Hanco, Omega Alpha’s equine division
representative maintains, “It is very important for us to support
athletes at all levels. This new partnership will allow us to build
relationships with riders in dressage, eventing and show jumping. We
will be attending different shows throughout the summer and look
forward to meeting the athletes in the program.”
This year, the FEQ received 84 applications from
riders of all disciplines. Selection committee members Josée
Turcotte (show jumping), Lorraine Laframboise (eventing), Caroline
Pépin (dressage) along with FEQ technical coordinator Paul Bélanger
met to select athletes from 84 applications for the 2010 program. |
