Canadian Talent on the World Stage: Read About Dustin Sippola’s Road to the Horse Journey in Canadian Horse Journal
The Canadian Quarter Horse Association (CQHA) is proud to spotlight Canadian talent making their mark on the international stage—and this spring, Canadian Horse Journal is doing just that with a feature on Alberta’s own Dustin Sippola.
Dustin recently represented Canada as a competitor in the prestigious Road to the Horse Wild Card Challenge, a colt-starting event that brings together some of the most skilled horsemen and women from around the world. His quiet confidence, deep connection to his horses, and strong foundation in ranch-raised horsemanship made him a standout throughout the competition.
What makes this story especially meaningful to CQHA is that Dustin’s journey is firmly rooted in Canadian soil. Based in southwestern Alberta, Dustin and his wife Carmen operate a working ranch and raise quality horses for ranch and rope work—many of them American Quarter Horses. He’s well known across Western Canada for his commitment to building soft, willing horses through thoughtful training and classical horsemanship principles. From early days riding with family friend and mentor Sid Cook, to earning titles like Heart of the Horse Champion three years in a row, Dustin has consistently represented the best of Canadian horsemanship.
We don’t want to give too much away here—because the full story is best told in the words of Canadian Horse Journal, a long-time CQHA sponsor and an essential voice in Canada’s equine community.
