Message from Horse Council BC Executive Director, Lisa Laycock In pursuit of our vision “a British Columbia where quality opportunities to participate in equestrian sport and recreation are available to ALL” collaboration is the key. Horse Council BC’s pursues our mission as a “member service organization that collaborates with business, industry and government on behalf of the equine and equestrian community to enhance the equine lifestyle in this Province”. I am continually impressed by the passion and dedication our community brings the show rings, trails and barns and board tables of British Columbia. This generosity is evident on the show grounds, training rings, Pony Club and 4H activities, trail work bees of the Back Country Horsemen, and I’m sure it’s alive and well in your club and affiliate group. Our words and actions make a difference - thank you for all you do!
to
What a start to 2020. Before we talk about 2020 let’s celebrate some of our successes from 2019 by reading the HCBC Annual Report and get a sense of some of the work the association carries out on behalf of our members. HCBC is making a real effort to host more events outside of the Langley area including Officials Clinics, Coach Development sessions, Equine Rescue Training for first responders, our Share the Trails Workshop and the three stops for the 2019 Community Talks Traveling Road Show in Nelson, Smithers and Quesnel. We invite you to contact the HCBC office with any questions you have. 2019 saw more coaches trained to deliver the Rookie Rider a children’s intro to riding program. The Pony Tails colouring book was published and is now available for sale. We have moved to a new membership registration system which will help us adapt to Safe Sport requirements that are being moved forward by the federal and provincial government. HCBC grant programs supported our clubs and affiliates to offer exciting education opportunities, trail improvements and community infrastructure programs around the province. The 2019 Economic Impact Study will be published in 2020. Horse Council BC with funding from the BC Ministry of Agriculture conducted an Economic Impact Study of the horse industry in BC to determine its economic benefits and value to the provincial economy. The purpose of the survey was to understand and document the scope and impact of the horse industry within B.C. A previous industry survey was conducted in 1998 and this new study provides data for comparison to monitor the growth of the sector. This will be a valuable to for the equestrian sector for business development and advocacy. By the end of the first quarter it was clear 2020 is not what we were imagining as we were building our plans for the year. Like our fellow HCBC members, our plans have changed and we are learning as we go. As members of Horse Council BC and the equine community you remain at the forefront of everything we do. Staff at Horse Council continue to be in contact with a number of Provincial Government ministries, both collecting and providing information. The gradual loosening of restrictions in BC will be controlled and determined by the Provincial Health Ministry, under Minister of Health Adrian Dix, and Chief Medical Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry. HCBC will continue to make every effort to share any relevant tools and the latest information in support of our members. We will get through this challenging period and will soon be able to get back to the activities we love. Until then, we hope you stay healthy and that we can all work together to take care of one another. The BC horse community is resilient and we will come through this together. I hope we can all remember and embrace the words of our BC Provincial Health Officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry, “Be kind, be calm, stay safe” Sincerely, Lisa Laycock Executive Director

HCBC REGIONS
WHAT ARE REGIONS? In August 2018 Horse Council BC had a vote on the proposed Bylaw changes and those changes were accepted. Part of those new bylaws included the move from HCBC following the eight provincial zones set up by the BC Summer Games to twelve new HCBC Regions. These Regions allow for a better and more even representation of our membership throughout the province. Each new Region is now represented by one Regional Director.

The 2020 BC Summer Games have been cancelled due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, the 2022 BC Summer Games will be held in Prince George. Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) is a systemic approach being developed and adopted by Equestrian Canada to maximize a participant/athlete’s potential and involvement in our sport. The LTAD framework aims to define optimal training, competition and recovery programs based on biological age rather than chronological age. It is athletecentered, coach-driven and administration, sport science and sponsor supported. By tailoring a participant/athlete’s sports development program to suit basic principles of growth and maturation, especially during the “critical” early years of their development, enables him/her to reach their full athletic potential, increase lifelong participation in equestrian sport and other physical activities and to improve health and well-being.
2019 BC 55+ GAMES The 55+ BC Games is an annual multi sport event produced by the BC Seniors Games Society (BCSGS) for the availability of the 55+ population of BC to participate in the 27 individual Sports.

AG DAYS IN VICTORIA HCBC Directors and staff have been actively meeting with all levels of government to promote and improve the state of BC’s equine Industry. Some of these meetings include: Ag Days in Victoria BC hosted by BC Agricultural Council. This event gives us the opportunity to speak with government staff and elected officials to promote our industry and request changes. Here is part of what we have presented to the ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Finance in the hope of creating an improved opportunities for horse owners. HCBC respectfully requests consideration for the following: • Equines are considered livestock in all legislation regulations and government communications. • The word horse throughout all official references should be replaced with equine to capture the use of horses, ponies, donkeys and mules, which is in keeping with current wording in Acts and regulations. • Allow income from boarding, training, manure sales and pasture grazing to be included as qualifying income for farm classification. • Definition of farm to include commercial boarding/training facilities. The BC Ministry of Ag granted HCBC $ 50,000 to do a province wide Economic Impact Study. The survey distribution and data compilation was contracted to Ferrence and Co. 14
ANIMAL HEALTH EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT (AHEM 2) An equine disease management program, Animal Health Emergency Management (AHEM 2) is a second-generation project with the goal of improving preparation and response to serious animal disease outbreaks.

Coaching & education IN 2019 HORSE COUNCIL BC HOSTED 5 COACHING EVALUATIONS ACROSS BRITISH COLUMBIA. THERE WERE A TOTAL OF 12 NEW COACHING CERTIFICATIONS APPROVED. AT THE END OF 2019 THERE WERE 303 CERTIFIED COACHES IN BC, with an additional 397 (+/-) that have some requirements missing before they are current again. ROOKIE RIDERS Rookie Riders program is a fun and comprehensive program that teaches activities and skills that are fundamental to success in horseback riding. The program was developed by nationally certified coaches and will be delivered across Canada. Rookie Riders includes games, basic gymnastic on mats, movements on a barrel and can even include riding a horse. These types of skills align with FUNdamental movements and mental skills that are age and stage appropriate for children aged 6 to 12, in accordance with the National Sport for Life Long Term Athlete Development model. Children will be prepared with the basics and then be ready to move into a riding school lesson program. From there, they can move into the First Level of the National English or Western Learn to Ride program where they will continue to learn and grow as a rider. We have approximately 25 trained Rookie Rider Instructors and will be training more throughout BC in 2020. Now that we have a great introductory program we need to encourage our trained Instructors to start delivering it at schools, camps, community events and within their own programming.
HCBC SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM Horse Council BC scholarships are available to Horse Council BC members in good standing, who are BC graduates from grade 12 and entering into an accredited College or University Study program. In 2019 1 HCBC member received a $1000 scholarship toward their post secondary education. 16
