Erin Silo

Canadian Dressage Athlete

FROM WESTERN CANADA TO THE WORLD STAGE

From Langley, British Columbia, to the international Grand Prix arena — Erin Silo and Jett have already proven they belong on the world stage. Now Western Canada has a chance to get behind one of its own.

Erin and Jett are campaigning for Canadian team selection at the 2027 Pan American Games, while continuing their journey toward the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.

Erin's career has been built on determination, sacrifice, and an extraordinary work ethic. She currently works three jobs while training and competing at international Grand Prix level — helping fund the considerable cost of campaigning a horse at this level.

In 2026, Erin and Jett earned their place on Equestrian Canada's Dressage National Team Program A Squad, following a season of CDI3* victories and international Grand Prix success.

Erin's road to international Grand Prix dressage has never been the easy one.

After 21 years in eventing — competing through the two-star level — she transitioned to dressage and worked her way up to Grand Prix. Then, in September 2020, Jett came into her life: a Dutch Warmblood gelding by Johnson x Floresco.

What followed wasn't an overnight success story. It was a partnership built one level, one test, one season at a time — First Level through Small Tour, Big Tour, and ultimately international Grand Prix.

The whole way, Erin kept working three jobs to help cover the enormous cost of training and competing at this level. What you see today is the result of years of work, sacrifice, and an unwavering belief in one horse - Built, Not Bought

In 2026, that work reached a new level. Erin and Jett earned a place on Equestrian Canada's Dressage National Team Program A Squad, with Erin ranked #4 in Canada on the June 2026 National Team Program list. Their season has included multiple CDI3* Grand Prix wins as they establish themselves as a genuine contender on the international stage.

Their story is still being written.

Erin and Jett’s Story

THE ROAD TO PAN AM 2027

AND OLYMPICS 2028

Erin and Jett's next goal is Canadian team selection for the 2027 Pan American Games — a key step on the pathway to LA 2028. Getting there comes with real costs: international competition entries, travel, transportation for Jett, stabling, coaching, veterinary and horse care, accommodation, and everything else it takes to keep a high-performance horse healthy and competing at his best.

Erin and Jett have done the work to get this far. Now we're asking Western Canada to help them take the next step.

Every contribution becomes part of that journey. You don't have to know anything about dressage to be part of their story.

This is Western Canada's chance to back one of its own — from Langley, BC, to the world stage.
