Equestrian Canada (EC) is pleased to announce the selection of Jean Duckering of Red Deer, AB as the December 2017 recipient of the Dressage Volunteer of the Month Award.

For over three decades, Duckering has been a strong supporter of Canadian dressage. In 1985, she joined the Parkland Area Alberta Dressage Association (PAADA) and held various board member positions, including secretary, treasurer, and an eventual 10-year tenure as president. Concurrently, she was show manager for the Alberta Equestrian Games and organized many provincial championships. Her tireless efforts made the PAADA the go-to organization for professionally run, enjoyable events.

Duckering went on to become President of the Alberta Dressage Association (ADA) from 2010 to 2012, where she played a key role in managing the ADA’s annual casino fundraising event. She also worked for many years as a dressage advisor for the Mane Event in Red Deer, AB.
