COACHING CODE OF CONDUCT

Due to past and recent complaints and comments, we would like to take this opportunity to remind all trainers / coaches / parents and friends about the proper code of conduct with respect to ringside behaviour.

It is inappropriat to shout instructions to or critique a rider as they are focusing on their required course or test.  Providing some guidance in a normal speaking voice whn the rider is very near the ingate would be acceptable, however shouting instructions in a loud manner the whole time the rider is in the ring is very distracting to everyone in the vicinity (including the judge) and the rider is unlikely able to hear the instruction anyway.  This is also against the Equine Canada rules of conduct.

Please be considerate to all of the show attendees and limit the ringside coaching to appropriate levels.
