Equine Canada National Steward Clinics

Equine Canada is pleased to be able to offer two new opportunities for Stewards to upgrade or maintain their certification and is open to those individual’s interested in pursuing stewarding or are working towards gaining their accreditation.

Both clinics offer an exciting opportunity to work with highly qualified and deeply experienced Canadian Stewards, giving participants an incredible chance to learn from the best.

At the British Columbia event, registrants will be hosted by Jan Stephens, FEI Jumper, Eventing and Reining Steward, EC Senior General Steward and EC Medium Dressage. Stephens is also past chair of Equine Canada Stewards Committee and has acted as an FEI Steward at International competitions in North America, including Spruce Meadows, the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair, Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event and the World Equestrian Games.
