All four stewards attended the recent FEI Stewards clinic held at Spruce Meadows in Calgary, AB, as well as holding Senior Equine Canada stewards credentials and demonstrating extensive backgrounds in stewarding at Equine Canada and FEI sanctioned jumping competitions.

Jan Stephens, chair of the Equine Canada Stewards Committee and Canada’s FEI Steward General for Jumping is pleased to welcome Patricia, Allan, Susan and Richard as new FEI officials.
