Are EA coaches insured when coaching riders via live video?

Equestrian Australia supports live video coaching as an acceptable coaching activity, and it is covered under EA Coach insurance. Coaches must still ensure the relevant waivers are signed by riders and that the required risk-management and safety checks are carried out in line with EA requirements and coaching protocols.

Because you won't be on site with the rider, be prepared to demonstrate how you've met EA requirements when coaching by live video — this includes completing a risk assessment and making sure first aid has been addressed in case of an accident.
