Coach Licensing Program Unveiled At 2019 EC Convention
Toronto, ON, Nov. 2, 2019 - Following unanimous program approval from the Equestrian Canada (EC) Board, we were very proud to unveil the EC Coach Li- censing Program during the 2019 EC Convention on Nov. 2, 2019 in Toronto, ON.
The Coach Licensing Program is
part of the 2018-2020 Memorandum of Agreement (MOU) signed by the Provincial and Territorial Sport Organi- zations (PTSOs) and EC, and addressed during the 2019 EC-PTSO Summit. It will be officially launched in January 2020, with the vision of ensuring every coach is licensed and certified by 2025. “Society is changing; Mindsets
and expectations have shifted consider- ably over the past decade,” said EC President Meg Krueger. “Current and future horse enthusiasts come to eques- trian with the expectation that the sport will provide a unique, respectful, safe, and inclusive experience. If we fail to meet this expectation, we will fail to at- tract and retain equestrians.” Krueger continued, “It is our duty
as equestrian stewards to share our pas- sion so that future generations can con- tinue to benefit from the unique experience our sport offers. In order to do so, we must stand united in offering safe, respectful and inclusive equestrian environments. This means implement- ing standards for coaching.” Heather Myrer, Executive Director of the Nova Scotia Equestrian Federa-
From Our Founder
Remembering December 1985
Here we are again facing an-
other Christmas…. and as I write today it is a day of misery with freezing rain all around us. I am looking out my window and watching my Atrium get covered in ice. Now the snow is coming down in big gobs. I hate winter… . Do you think that we could trade Toronto for Florida.
tion, and a member of the joint EC- PTSO Canadian Equestrian Develop- ment (CED) Committee, added, “As a member of the CED and someone who has been working in the industry for nearly two decades, I believe that we need to work together to modernize the coaching profession. We know the im- portant role that coaches play in shaping the mindset of young equestrians and I am very proud that we are making this a priority through the Coach Licensing Program.”
The Coach Licensing Program Un- veiled
While more details on the Coach
Licensing Program will be shared in the coming months, here are the highlights presented during the unveiling at the EC Convention:
Vision We are committed as an equestrian
community to be industry leaders in the licensing and certification of coaches. We know that the community has been waiting for years for EC to coordinate and lead this process. Through our col- laborative work with the PTSOs, we are confident that the approach we are tak- ing will lead to better quality coaching, safer and positive sport experiences, bet- ter management of risks, and an increase in the recruitment and retention of ath- letes.
untimely passing of one of the province’s top Quarter Horse Youth Exhibitors. Patricia Lynn Huff was killed in a car crash by someone running a red light. The OQHA provided a memorial tro- phy in her memory. The horse world continues to be involved with these tragic events - every- one is in a hurry. This past year we lost a lot
of our friends and competitors in the horse industry. I have been in- volved in the horse business for over 50 years with creation of The Rider in June 1970. Before that I was just a back yard eques- trian.
The December 1985 issue foundation of our equestrian lives carried a front page story on the
I have seen so many of the Benefits
The benefits of the Coach Licensing Program include:
• Industry-leading insurance program provided exclusively by CapriCMW In- surance Services Ltd. For more informa- tion,
contact Mike King at
mking@capricmw.ca. • Access to independent third-party complaint management. • Preferred rates for certified coaches and coaches enrolled in the certification process. • Ability to purchase Horse Recordings and register as an official without an EC Sport Licence • Access to educational material through the EC E-learning platform, to be launched shortly • Discount on EC Sport Licence pur- chases for those who both coach and compete. The automatically included insur-
ance will prove especially valuable to li- censed coaches, as they will benefit from lower insurance costs and consis- tent coverage to address the specific ex- posures related to coaching – anywhere in the world. In addition to commercial liability insurance with limits at $5,000,000, the CapriCMW insurance product being provided to licensed coaches includes coverage for profes- sional liability and protections should an allegation of abuse arise.
pass along. The recent passing of Peter Cameron was tragic. The was a fabulous judge. I had just established The Rider and was showing my horse at the Ancaster Saddle Club show and Peter gave me the Gate. I showed up with a calm horse and would have won the trail class hands down, but Peter, true to form, noticed I did not have a slicker on my brand new Emore saddle. It did not matter to him who I was. I got the gate, but he let me ride. He made mention to all at
the 2013 Can Am show where we were both Inducted into the CanAm Hall of Fame as Industry Builders. Peter enjoyed hitting on me for my missing equipment he was a gentleman of the foremost

“At CapriCMW we have always
advocated for and rewarded coaching credentials, and we are looking forward to this long-term service partnership with EC and PTSOs from coast-to-coast for the coach licensing program,” said King. “We have worked with thousands of coaches across the country for decades, and we look forward to utiliz- ing this national initiative as a platform to give all coaches in Canada access to affordable and comprehensive group coverage and experience-based risk management resources.” King added, “Coach licensing is a
long overdue and critical step in secur- ing the modernization and longevity of equestrian sport and recreation in today’s environment, and CapriCMW is committed to this initiative to help pro- tect, recognize and support the eques- trian community for years to come.”
Timeline A phased-in approach is being
used to ensure we are providing coaches with enough time to become licensed and certified by 2025. By 2020, EC will be requiring coaches to be licensed at se- lect EC sanctioned competitions with a goal of requiring all coaches to be li- censed for all EC sanctioned competi- tions by 2021. “It’s time,” shared Executive Di-
rector of Ontario Equestrian and mem- ber of the CED Committee, Tracey McCague-McElrea. “We are committed

Yours Truly Jim & Gail Henderson
September 20, 1985
Dear Mr. Finn Due to the death of our stal-
lion, Separate Cheques, we will be cancelling our monthly ad in The Rider. At this time I would like to take the opportunity to thank you and your staff for the fine job of promoting our horse for the past 18 months, ( an in- crease from 18 mares to 45 mares ) with the use of a year round ad- vertising program in your news- paper/ magazine . We bred some mares whose owners had never even seen Separate Cheques other than through your ads. (An increase of 150%) Again, thank you and I hope
that you will continue to report on and support Quarter Horse Racing in Ontario.
