The Canadian Quarter Horse Association (CQHA) proudly congratulates Jessica Wolfs of Standard, Alberta, recipient of the 2024 Alberta Equestrian Federation Educational Scholarship—a well-earned honour that reflects both her dedication to horsemanship and her commitment to equine welfare.

A recent graduate of Wheatland Crossing School (June 2024), Jessica is no stranger to the winner’s circle. Her recent accolades include:

  • 2024 Gold Rush Futurity Open Ranch Riding Champion

  • 2024 Canadian National Quarter Horse Show:
    • L1 Youth Working Western Rail Champion
    • L1 Youth Ranch Riding Champion
    • Youth Ranch Riding Champion
    • Youth Ranch Trail Champion
    • Reserve Champion All Around Ranch Horse

  • 2024 Futrnova Reining Show: Champion Green Reiner Saddle Shootout

  • 2024 TXC Rookie Lvl 1 Champions 

  • Three-time AQHA World Show Qualifier in ranch events

  • 2022 Calgary Stampede Show Riders – Show Rider of the Year

With a strong foundation shaped by ten years in 4-H and deep roots in western performance sport, Jessica embodies the next generation of Canadian Quarter Horse excellence. Her future plans include pursuing her Equine Massage Therapy Certificate at Olds College, with an eye toward expanding into advanced therapies like PEMF, cold laser, Bemer blankets, and kinesiology taping.

Jessica puts it simply:

“Our horses work so hard for us—they deserve the best in return. I plan to use what I learn to help horses across Alberta feel as comfortable as possible, whether they’re competing in sport or just enjoying life as a companion.”

The CQHA commends Jessica’s commitment to continuous learning and horse-first care. Her journey is exactly the kind of success story our equine community is built upon—where skill, heart, and purpose come together in service of the horse.

We join the Alberta Equestrian Federation in celebrating Jessica’s accomplishments and look forward to all she will contribute to Canada’s Quarter Horse industry in the years ahead.

Congratulations, Jessica!
