Certified coaches are professionals who are expected to adhere to strict standards of the profession. Equine Canada coaches and instructors sign nationally accountable Codes of Ethics and Conduct. Written complaints about coaches are addressed. They are also required to maintain a current and clean police records report on file.
Trained in procedures, coaches hold a valid First Aid certificate which must be kept up to date for the coach to maintain certification.
Certified Coaches and Instructors have been trained and tested on their specific ability to teach and coach human athletes, using techniques and practices upheld by Sport Canada as best standard for coaching for all major sports in Canada. The coaching development curriculum is aligned with standard sport science and coaching skill principles and practices.
Coach candidates are assessed by very experienced equestrian coaching professionals. In addition to demonstrating coaching and teaching ability, coaches and instructors must demonstrate a high standard of competence in horsemanship, horse care, horse training, riding, business and other skills. They must show proof of continuing professional development activities to maintain certification status.
Becoming certified and maintaining certification requires significant time and financial commitment on the part of the instructor/coach. Certification shows personal commitment to the sport and to giving their students the best they can.
Conformance with growing requirement for and public expectation of certification in all amateur sports
Athletes Progress, Coaches Specialize
Athlete Centred = As par�cipant skill increases, the coaching context and degree
of compe��ve involvement change. Choose a coach that specializes in the
requirements of your context.
Coaching Cer�fica�ons: Equal but Different. While compe��ve coaches do have
to have prior experience as an athlete in their cer�fica�on context, coaches seek
cer�fica�on that best describes the majority of their clients, not their own skills as
an athlete. Coaching cer�ficate type is not a hierarchy. The cer�ficate type does
not necessarily indicate a coach or instructors’ years of experience, degree of
exper�se, or prior personal compe��ve experience.
1.Iden�fy your skill level
in the inner circle.
2. Next, select your
degree of compe��ve
involvement.
3. Select the coach type
that most fits your stage
and context.
4. Find a current coach or
instructor on the EC and
provincial websites.
