    Important Reminder: PTSO Renewals

    Please note that before completing your EC renewal, you must first renew with your Provincial/Territorial Sport Organization (PTSO). In some cases, it may take a few business days for your PTSO to process the renewal before your EC renewal can be completed.

    The Coach Status Program

    EC is implementing revised measures to the initial Coach Licence based on community feedback to create a safe, welcoming and inclusive equestrian experience for all the sport’s participants. Inspired by and in cooperation with the federal government’s Safe Sport initiative, our new Coach Status Program is designed to provide our coaches with the training and screening they need to elevate the equestrian experience in Canada and make it safer for all involved.

    While we treasure the traditions we share as equestrians, we’re also eager to bring the sport in line with current standards and the values that help define us as Canadians. We are approaching the new Coach Statuses with a restored attitude of confidence and positivity to embrace change and reach a higher level of excellence for Canadian equestrianism.

    Coaches can now apply for one of two statuses:

    • Registered Coach Status
    • Licensed Coach Status

    Holding one of these Coach Statuses means EC has verified that the coach meets all necessary safety screening and training requirements.

    While renewing your Sport Licence, we encourage every coach to begin the process of applying for either the Registered Coach or Licensed Coach Status. Visit our website to learn more about the new program and our commitment to creating a safe, high-quality experience for all who participate in equestrian sport across our country.

    COVID-19 Discount

    In light of the financial impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, EC is offering a 25% discount on 2021 Sport Licences for eligible participants.

    To be eligible, the EC Sport Licence Holder must have purchased a 2020 EC Sport Licence by March 31, 2020, and cannot have participated in EC or US Equestrian (USEF) sanctioned events in 2020. The discount will be available until March 31, 2021, and is only applicable for EC Sport Licences renewed for the 2021 competition season.

    EC extends its thanks to the community for its patience as appropriate compensation for unused 2020 licenses was determined based on the organization’s ability to sustain business operations during the pandemic.

    The discount can be applied through the online renewal process.
