Long Term Equestrian Development
The Equestrian Canada Long-Term Equestrian Development Model (LTED) provides the Canadian equestrian community with a vision to help us improve our infrastructure, programs and initiatives to ensure the best opportunities are available for all athletes and participants – whatever their personal goals or stage of development.
Built upon proven sport principles and customized to equestrian athletes providing a clear and effective pathway for all equestrian athletes – regardless of age, experience, or discipline – to enjoy equestrian sport. LTED is not only about building successful high-performance athletes, but also about ensuring the highest quality riding experience for every person engaged in equestrian sport, including riders with disabilities.
LTED 2.0 was designed to encourage a consistent approach to rider development and to guide the actions of everyone involved in equestrian sport, whether working with beginner or advanced athletes, able-bodied or disabled, recreational or competitive.
