Since 1926, Dinnie Brickenden and his family have run Brickenden Stables, where they have been responsible for the breeding and development of Canadian Sport Horses. Jim Elder, who won a gold medal in the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico, said of the Elder family: “They are one of the foundation families, if not the foundation family, of the horse show world.”
The horses owned by Dinnie have competed for Canada at international competitions such as the Olympics and the Pan American Games, and they continue to be successful. In 1940, Dinnie established the London Pony Club with the goal of educating young riders on how to properly care for, compete with, and just appreciate ponies.
