Ottawa, Ontario—The Canadian equestrian community is saddened to learn of the loss of a long-time member, official, volunteer and industry pioneer, Sandra Sillcox, 74, of King City, ON, after a courageous battle with cancer.
A member of Equine Canada, when it was known as the Canadian Horse Shows Association, since 1959, Sandra was an Equine Canada (EC) Senior National and Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) steward. She was accredited as a FEI—X steward for all the FEI disciplines of Combined Driving, Eventing, Jumper, Dressage, Vaulting, Endurance and Reining.
Sandra’s lifetime commitment as a steward began when she created Equine Canada’s steward program and developed the FEI steward program in Canada. She has been the chair of the EC National Stewards Committee and the head of the FEI Steward program in Canada.
