2014 Equine Canada Convention to Host Steward Clinics
Ottawa ON - Equine Canada has announced that multiple EC-sanctioned steward clinics will take place during the 2014 Equine Cana- da National Convention, set for Feb. 5-9 at the Radisson Hotel in Winnipeg, MB. A National Steward Clinic and a Dres-
sage Steward Clinic will be offered. These clinics offer exciting opportuni-
ties to work with highly experienced and exceedingly qualified Canadian stewards, giving participants the chance to learn from the best. The National Steward Clinic will take
place Feb. 8. It will be hosted by Neil Ratledge, FEI Level 3 Jumper Steward, EC Senior General Steward, and EC Senior Dres- sage Steward. Ratledge is also chair of the
EC Stewards Committee, and has been appointed as the FEI Steward at a variety of top competitions, including Canada’s own Spruce Meadows and The Royal Horse Show.
Linda Miller is set to host the Dressage
Steward Clinic on Feb. 9. Her credentials include FEI Level 2 Dressage Steward, EC Senior General Steward, EC Senior Dressage Steward, and EC Senior Para-Equestrian Dressage Steward. Miller has extensive expe- rience stewarding at various FEI-level com- petitions in Canada. Both clinics are of high value to a wide
range of equestrian enthusiasts, providing the following benefits: • EC Certified Coaches and Instructors
can apply the clinics toward updating hours. • Current general, jumper-specific, or
dressage-specific stewards* can use the clin- ics for updating and/or upgrading purposes • Prospective stewards can attend in
