What is “EC”?

“Equestrian Canada (better known as EC) is both Canada’s amateur athletic association and its national federation for equestrian sport.  We were formed from amalgamations, mergers and over time have evolved from the grassroots to a formalized, structured, and governed organization.”

What is the “Learn to Ride” program?

“The Learn to Ride program is designed to be guided by a Certified Instructor or Coach, to ensure that the concepts are clearly understood before the rider progresses to more challenging levels. The program provides an opportunity for riders to progress, demonstrating their skills through a series of increasingly complex written tests, interviews, and under-saddle jump and flat tests.”

How can I participate?

Click on the Rubric Link below to determine which Rider Level you’re ready to work towards & go over this goal with your coach at your next lesson. Purchase your rider level Manuals through the link below & start studying at home! As there is a stable management component to the evaluation, participants will also have to book Horsemanship Lessons to ensure they’re properly prepared. Once your coach feels you’re ready to be evaluated, you will email Jacqueline to set up a testing date.

Jacqueline is a Rider Level Evaluator through EC and can evaluate up to Rider Level 8.
Evaluators are not allowed to evaluate their own current personal students past rider level 4.
