The Canadian Quarter Horse Association (CQHA) has long been a cornerstone of Canada's equestrian community, dedicated to promoting and supporting the American Quarter Horse breed across the nation. Through a variety of programs and events, the CQHA fosters a sense of unity and excellence among breeders, riders, and enthusiasts.

Retired Canadian show jumper Eric Lamaze has been suspended from the sport until 2031 after the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) imposed a second four-year ban in a human anti-doping case initiated by the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI).
