AUGUST 2018 THE RIDER /31 Claire Vessey Named Dressage Volunteer of the Month for June 2018
Ottawa, ON, July 5, 2018 – Equestrian Canada (EC) is de- lighted to announce that Claire Vessey of Sooke, BC has been se- lected as the June 2018 recipient of the Dressage Volunteer of the Month Award. Vessey has worked tirelessly
as a dressage volunteer for more than thirty years in the Victoria area. She has been the Western Vice President of CADORA Inc. for many years, and currently acts as National Awards Coordinator. Vessey has held almost every di- rector capacity possible for the Victoria-Saanich CADORA Soci- ety, including several years as President, and Chair of their an- nual Capital City Classic Dres- sage Competition. In her diligent manner,
Vessey has organized the annual CADORA Inc. Victoria clinic with FEI 5* Dressage Judge and Dressage Judge General, Stephen Clarke (GBR). Her thoughtfulness and care ensures that Clarke, whom CADORA Inc. has hosted for thirteen years of clinics, enjoys the utmost comfort, privacy, and professionalism during his visits. An EC certified Competition
Coach, Vessey is also heavily in- volved with the Elk/Beaver Lake Equestrian Society – a public equestrian facility built, organized and operated by a small group of volunteers – and is the barn man-
ager of a private equestrian fa- cility. Students, competitors, fel- low organizers and volunteers alike have all been touched by her selfless love of horses and dressage. EC commends Vessey for her
long-time support of the local dressage community and be- yond. It is the enthusiasm and contributions of volunteers such as Vessey that allow the sport of dressage to thrive. If you know of a volunteer
who deserves recognition, nom- inations are quick and easy through the EC website.
