context_page_description: The Canadian Equestrian Team or CET collectively describes the athletes that represent Canada at the highest levels of international equestrian competition, specifically at the World Championship, Olympic, and Paralympic levels.
  There many different equestrian disciplines, with separate and overlapping international governing bodies, responsible for different international championship series. Because of this, the term Canadian Equestrian Team has been used by many equestrian sport organizations since 1840 to describe their most senior teams competing for Canada internationally in a variety of disciplines and in a variety of systems.
  When greater precision is needed, a specific team is referred to by its discipline or by the event at which it competes: e.g., the athletes riding for Canada in jumping at the Olympic Games are referred to variously as the "Canadian Equestrian Team", the "Canadian Jumping Team", the "Canadian Olympic Equestrian Team", and the "Canadian Olympic Jumping Team".
context_section_description: The CET achieved its greatest success to date in 2010, when Canada was frequently described as one of the top three equestrian nations.
  At that time, CET athletes simultaneously held six separate World, Olympic, and Paralympic championships: the FEI Reining World Championship (Duane Latimer and Hang Ten Surprise);  the FEI Tent Pegging World Championship (Akaash Maharaj and Gagan);  the PRCA Steer Wrestling World Championship (Lee Graves);  the WCJA Jousting World Championship (Shane Adams and Dragon);  the IOC Jumping Olympic Championship (Eric Lamaze and Hickstead);  and the IPC Dressage II Freestyle Paralympic Championship (Lauren Barwick and Maile).
