We will not let the unexpected cancellation of the international events planned for Portugal kill the dream of the athletes of paradressage: To compete in the 2019 European Championship 2019 Holland and the Paralympic Games 2020 Tokyo !!
The unexpected announcement on the cancellation of the international competitions of paradressage for Portugal, due to the lack of support to the organizations, will raise the financial footing of the project "Cavalgar until Tokyo 2020", a sports project launched by AEJC and that already counts on the important support of the Jogos da Santa Casa da Misericórdia. Given the current situation, we must call for the union of more supporters, sponsors or even patrons with the aim of preparing, qualifying and raising funds so that the athletes of national paradressage can reach the Paralympic Games 2020. Why? Because athletes are now forced to move to competitions outside the country, in order to reach the minimum requirements necessary for their participation in the European Championship in Holland, the first step to the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo.
What is paradressage?
Paradressage is a paraequestrian discipline, which consists in the practice of dressage discipline adapted to the specific limitations of each rider. Conducted under the same basic rules, but with Athletes classified according to the level of their impairment, the horse has to perform at a walk, trot and canter, and all tests are ridden from memory and follow a prescribed pattern of movements. Paradressage is known to improve motor coordination and posture, increase self-esteem and autonomy, and to promotion social inclusion. It is the only adapted equestrian mode FEI (International Equestrian Federation) included in the Paralympic Games, where it has been a regular presence since 1996. Its popularity has been increasing in recent years, attracting more and more riders, new countries and the public in competitions.
