Alberta Equestrian Federation

Alberta is home to the highest number of horses in Canada; they are an integral and valued part of our culture and our industry. There is a special bond between horses and humans.

Since 1978, the Alberta Equestrian Federation (AEF) has been dedicated to working for Alberta equines and the equestrian community. The Government of Alberta recognizes AEF as the only governing body for equestrian sport. We offer a wide range of equestrian programs and services for beginners to experts, the young, and the young at heart.

Services range from insurance included in memberships for equestrian-related activities to our core focus areas of recreation, sport, education and industry.

We administer the only nationally recognized coaching, instructor and rider development programs. We provide funding to members for professional development, trail maintenance and expansion, for educational opportunities; and we support all levels of competitions.

Join our equestrian community of 18,000 in over 425 Alberta communities and let us share and expand your passion for horses.
