The Equestrian Canada (EC) Eventing Committee is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Rob Stevenson from Lakeside, NB as the chair of the Eventing High Performance Advisory Group heading into the next cycle of major games.
Dr. Stevenson’s long and successful history as an eventing athlete includes competing for Canada at the Barcelona 1992 Olympics, where he finished in 22nd place individually aboard Risky Business. Following his competitive career, he began generously dedicating his time to the governance of the sport, serving on the Eventing High Performance Committee from 2001 to 2004, where he acted as Co-Chair of selection. He returned to the Committee in 2012 after being appointed FEI National Safety Officer for Canada. In addition, Dr. Stevenson was recently invited to join the newly formed FEI Risk Management Steering Group.
“I am thrilled that Rob has accepted this important position at a time where we need to focus on collaboration with the Eventing Committee, athletes and owners,” said Peter Gray, Eventing Committee chair. “He is the perfect balance of experience, integrity and fairness, and comes to this position without bias or personal agendas.”
