The Canadian Eventing Officials Committee is pleased to offer comprehensive course designer training during a four-day combined clinic and theory course to be held February 21-24, 2013 in Surrey, BC.
The course facilitators are renowned FEI (I) level Eventing Course Designer Jay Hambly of Guelph, ON, and EC Senior Level 2 Eventing Course Designer Laurie Rowan of Cherryville, BC (who was part of the team that built the cross country course at the 2008 Beijing Olympics).
The practical building portion of the training will take place February 21-22 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Campbell Valley Sunnyside Greenhouse in Surrey, BC. Participants will benefit from instruction on practical construction techniques, frangible pin technology and more. The theory course will follow on February 23 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and February 24 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Hampton Inn & Suites in Surrey, BC, and will focus on the theoretical aspects of eventing course design.
Both the practical clinic and the theory course are integral components of the Equine Canada Eventing Course Designer Accreditation program, and successful completion of one or both parts of the training will be credited toward Equine Canada Eventing Course Designer licencing. Although the option of participating in either one or both components of the training is available, please note that if the training is being used toward maintenance or promotion of Officials certification, full participation in both components is required.
