​- Mathilde Blais Tétrault of Montreal, Quebec with Fedor, a 14-year-old KWPN gelding owned by her sister Laurence, and Mathilde’s ride as part of Canada’s bronze medal winning Pan Am Games team in 2023. (Groom Laurence Blais Tétrault)

-Rakeya Moussa from Edmonton, Alberta with 16-year-old KWPN gelding Davidoff V.H. Trichelhof, owned by Susan and Mohammed Moussa. (Groom Deborah Nichols)

Canada’s Chef d’Équipe for the Nations Cup will be New Brunswick equestrian (and Denielle Gallagher Legriffon’s mother) Alison Gallagher.

Go Canada!
