Sponsorship
The Leg Up Programme un, deux, trois, hop! is a registered charitable organization recognized by the Canada Revenue Agency. We provide riding lessons to underprivileged youth who live in the Zone 3 region of the New Brunswick Equestrian Association.
We match up young riders with Equestrian Canada certified coaches for 12 lessons, and all the necessary equipment to give youth a leg up in equestrian sport.
​
Our coaches are located in various areas of Zone 3. For a list of participating coaches, email us at legupprogramme@gmail.com.
Youth between the ages of 8 and 18 who:
- Live in Zone 3 of the NBEA
- Have access to transportation to a stable (a gas allowance will be provided to help with this expense)
- Would not be able to afford riding lessons without this program
