About Us
About Island Horse Council
Prince Edward Island Horse Council (IHC) was founded to be the caretaker for Strathgartney Equestrian Park (SEP). From that original purpose, IHC has evolved into the not-for-profit Provincial Sport Organization that provides governance to the equestrian industry on Prince Edward Island (excluding the racing industry). IHC provides support, leadership and resources to develop athletes and protect the interests of equestrian enthusiasts. Equestrian Canada, as the nationally recognized sport organization, recognizes one representative organization in each province across Canada. In PEI this is the IHC. IHC participates directly in national policy development, sport administration and delivering member services through this partnership.
Over more than 40 years, numerous volunteers have dedicated thousands of hours of their time to sit on the executive board to offer member clubs and approximately 700 individual members, the substantial benefits of a Provincial Sport Organization.
IHC is member-focused and strives to provide ever-increasing value. We sponsor Equestrian Canada certified coaching courses in both English and Western disciplines in an effort to increase the number of certified coaches in our province, and help current coaches upgrade coaching credentials. Additionally, we work with Island athletes to offer support to training and high-level competitions, thereby creating a development pathway.
Become a member of the Island Horse Council, volunteer with a member club or take your first riding lesson. We are here to support you, education you, protect you and celebrate you.
Please do not hesitate to contact any member of Island Horse Council with your suggestions/concerns or triumphs.
Sincerely,
IHC Executive & Board of Directors
