A versatile horse is one having many aptitudes and abilities and is able to turn with ease from one activity to another. The Versatility Award recognizes both the broad spectrum of capabilities of our member’s horses and their contribution to breed promotion. These versatile horses are ambassadors of the Canadian breed, and CHHAPS feels that they should be recognized for their efforts.

The Versatility Award Program is unique to the Canadian Horse breed. The CHHAPS Versatility Award Program was originally modeled after the Atlantic District's versatility awards program, and has now been modified to better suit our CHHAPS members and their activities. 

The CHHAPS Versatility program has been structured such that it acknowledges and rewards owners and their Canadians for participation in activities both inside and outside of the show ring. It should be noted that the emphasis of this award program is on participation, not competition or performance.

We invite ALL CHHAPS members who own either pure or partbred Canadians to participate in this exciting program.  You don't have to live in BC to participate!
