Coaching
Educational opportunities to help new coaches navigate the licensing process and give established coaches new tools to use in their day-to-day practice.
EC licensing resources
We've partnered with Ontario Equestrian (OE) to help promote the resources and tools available to help coaches navigate the Equestrian Canada (EC) licensing process and offer a direct link to OE to help answer any outstanding questions.
OE's Manager of Community Development, Helen Richardson, has developed a suite of resources for the equestrian coaching community.
