Canada’s jumping chef d’équipe resigns over contract issues

Equestrian Canada has lost its long-time showjumping chef d’équipe with the resignation of Mark Laskin from his position as Technical Advisor for Jumping.

Laskin has cited contract issues and interference from Equestrian Canada’s (EC) leadership group as the reasons for his resignation, which is effective immediately.

Laskin of Langley, BC, has held the role of Canadian Show Jumping Team chef d’équipe since the fall of 2012 when he succeeded Terrance “Torchy” Millar. Laskin has been working without a current contract despite continuing to fulfill his duties at numerous events including the rescheduled 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, in August and the Longines FEI Jumping Nations Cup Final held in Barcelona, Spain, in October.
