Dressage Canada is pleased to introduce four new High Performance 1 Coaches who successfully completed Equine Canada’s National Coaching Certification Program.

Obtaining certification is an important life-time achievement. Certified Equine Canada Coaches adhere to recognized coaching best-practices and have achieved the highest standards in Canada for equestrian coaching.

Dressage Canada wishes to congratulate Sandra Verda Zanatta of Langley, BC, Susan Ziereisen of Carp, ON, Wendy Chistoff of Delta, BC, and Rochelle Kilberg of Surrey, BC, for their having successfully undertaken and fulfilling the requirements of the program.

The High Performance Coach Certification process is administered by Equine Canada. In order to gain certification candidates must have completed three evaluation steps of the program in order. The steps are: initial evaluation of submitted lesson plans and yearly training plan; a single evaluation day with two evaluators where candidates are evaluated on coaching skills while giving lessons; a final phase where coaching is evaluated at a competition. Only evaluations which are authorized by Equine Canada, qualify coaches to obtain Equine Canada certification.
