THE EARLY YEARS

In the early 1970s, as Mayor Jean Drapeau campaigned to bring the Olympic Games to Montreal, Roland Désourdy, one of the founders of the City of Bromont, supported the initiative and proposed the Park as the venue for the equestrian events of the 21st Olympic Games.

THE 1976 OLYMPIC GAMES ARRIVE IN BROMONT

The site received official accreditation in 1974, leading to the construction of facilities that would welcome athletes in 1976 for the equestrian events of the modern pentathlon. Princess Anne made history as the first member of the British royal family to compete, taking part in the eventing riding portion on the Queen’s horse, Goodwill. Despite a fall during the cross-country phase, she completed the competition. Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, and other members of the royal family were in Bromont to support her, making it a memorable visit for the region.

INTERNATIONAL REACH

After the Montreal Olympics, the Park continued to build its international reputation by hosting top-level competitions, including International Bromont, held under the direction of Roger Deslauriers.

Thanks to the dedication of Mr. Deslauriers and his team, the Park has continued to evolve and has become a premier venue for competition. It is a major asset for Quebec’s next generation of athletes, allowing local riders to compete alongside the sport’s elite on world-class facilities.

RCMP MUSICAL RIDE

In June 2025, the Bromont Olympic Equestrian Park was proud to present the RCMP Musical Ride, a symbol of tradition, honour, and pride recognized across Canada and around the world. The program featured a memorable performance by 32 mounted police officers, executing spectacular formations set to music.

THE PARK TODAY

This Olympic venue includes a permanent 80-stall barn, numerous training rings, three large competition arenas, and an extensive steeplechase track. Major upgrades were completed in 2010, and the Shefford County Agricultural Society is planning additional improvements over the coming years.
