The CSI5* rating signifies the ultimate in competitive show jumping: a true test of strength, agility, and performance.

Immerse yourself in this heart-pounding, edge-of-your-seat spectator sport and experience the thrill of international show jumping up close as these world-class riders chase championship glory!
Not familiar with show jumping? Here’s a quick guide to understanding the competition!
Riders must navigate a course of obstacles, aiming to clear each jump without knocking down rails or refusing. The goal is to complete the course with the least number of faults in the fastest time! Faults and elimination can occur in few ways:
A knock-down, lowering the height of a jump or failing to clear the white tape on a water jump, is penalized with 4 faults.
The first refusal to jump a fence is penalized with 4 faults.
A second refusal to results in elimination.
Exceeding the time allowed is penalized with 1 fault for every 1 second over the time allowed.
Falling off while on course results in elimination.
Going off course, jumping the fences out of the correct order, also results in elimination.
Don't miss the jump off! Those with no faults in the first round will move on to the jump-off where they will compete over a shortened course. The goal is to clear the course in the fastest time possible without penalties. It's an exciting, high-pressure moment where speed and precision are crucial to securing victory!

Burnout is a common result of excessive responsibility and a lack of control. Often, individuals find themselves overwhelmed and unable to cope with the demands placed on them. However, there is a solution to this problem. Our nature and horses workshop offers a unique opportunity to regain your balance and find inner calm once more. By connecting with nature and interacting with horses, you will discover a renewed sense of control and peace within yourself. The therapeutic power of these experiences will help you reestablish a healthy work-life balance, heal and prevent burnout recurrence. So, if you are feeling overwhelmed and in need of a reset, come and join our workshop to find your center and restore tranquility to your life.
About Equi - horses and humans
Equi is a dedicated team of equine professionals and mental health and wellness experts. Their workshops, held in Ottawa and Greater Montreal, provide a safe and nurturing environment for individuals to explore their inner selves and overcome challenges.

How it works
One day workshops begin at 9:30 AM and last until 4:30 PM. The group will enjoy a lunch break with a tasty gourmet boxed lunch that is provided as part of the fee. Wear comfortable clothing and walking shoes or boots since we will be spending time in the horse's world.
