Manitoba Riding Coaches

Manitoba Horse Council recommends that you research qualifications of potential coaches before you select one. Equine Canada, the national governing body of Equine sport in Canada recognizes only coaches and instructors who have completed the Equine Canada NCCP Coaching Certification program and who make the effort to stay current. EC coaches need to update their education on a regular basis including criminal record checks and first aid certification. When choosing a coach, ensure that you are selecting one who carries the required current qualifications &  insurance.
