Ottawa, ON—Para-Equestrian Canada has launched a search for an Ontario-based regional development coach.
The ideal candidate would be a qualified dressage coach and rider, possessing knowledge of or experience with riders with disabilities. The selected individual will fill an important role within the organization by transitioning athletes to higher levels of competition, both nationally and abroad.
“Our development coaches assess athletes who demonstrate an interest in Para-Dressage,” said Elizabeth Robinson, chair of the Para-Equestrian Canada High Performance Committee. “They identify and train future team members — and in this way contribute to the integrity of the sport within Canada.”
Para-Dressage already has a strong national development program, as demonstrated by impressive international standings in the last several years.
The regional development coach will operate with the instruction of the national team coach, as well as under the leadership of the organization’s Para-Equestrian High Performance Committee.
Para-Equestrian Canada will accept applications for this position up to September 15, 2009. They can be sent to the attention of Amie O’Shaughnessy, Manager Para-Equestrian at the Equine Canada office 2685 Queensview Dr., Suite 100, Ottawa, ON, K2B 8K2, Fax: 613-248-3484 or e-mail aoshaughnessy@equinecanada.ca.
