We are a membership-driven not-for-profit association representing interests of the equine industry

The Alberta Equestrian Federation is a member service organization committed to working together on behalf of the equine interests of our members. Representing horse enthusiasts in Alberta, since 1978, we collaborate with individuals, businesses, industry professionals, and government to strengthen communication, education, and safety. We are the only equestrian body recognized by Alberta Sport, Recreation, Parks and Wildlife Foundation (o/a Alberta Sport Connection), giving us a voice within the Alberta Government. We strive to preserve and enhance equestrian use of public lands and to promote and foster participation in all varieties of equine activity.

Congratulations to three Alberta junior equestrians who have earned their place at the CET Medal National Finals! 🐴

Join us in cheering on Emma Ludwar, Jorja Quast, and Kenda Murray as they prepare to represent Alberta at the Royal Horse Show at The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair ❄️

The CET Medal is a challenging equitation class that puts the rider’s effectiveness, accuracy, and decision-making to the test over a jumper-style course.

Earning a place at the National Finals reflects dedicated training and the partnership each rider has developed with their horse. We’re proud to celebrate Emma, Jorja, and Kenda as they take on this exciting opportunity.

New World Screwworm: U.S. Travel Restrictions

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has implemented import restrictions in response to confirmed cases of New World screwworm in several U.S. states, including Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.

Horse owners travelling between Canada and the U.S. should be aware that horses cannot enter or return to Canada if they have resided in or travelled through an affected state within the previous 21 days, even when simply passing through. Owners planning U.S. travel are encouraged to check current restrictions and requirements before departure.

Acera Insurance is becoming Navacord. What does that mean for AEF members?

Not much, actually!

Starting November 1, Acera Insurance will begin operating under the Navacord name. It’s a new name and look, but your AEF member insurance coverage and optional add-on insurance products are not changing.

You’ll continue to have access to the same equine insurance expertise and support, just under the Navacord name.

New name. Same coverage. Same support for Alberta’s equestrian community. 🐴

Navacord

Know someone who should be part of the AEF community? 🐴

AEF’s Referral Program rewards you for helping grow Alberta’s equestrian community. When you refer a new or lapsed member, you’ll receive a $5 credit toward your membership.

And yes, your referral credits are stackable! The more eligible members you refer, the more you can save toward your own AEF membership.

It’s a simple way to introduce more horse people to AEF while getting a little something back for yourself. 💙

Start spreading the word and make your referrals count!
