Horse Show Steward
A horse show steward, sometimes also called a ''rules steward'' or ''licensed steward,'' is a licensed official at a horse show tasked with the responsibility of interpreting and enforcing the rules of the organization that sanctions the horse show. In many organizations, stewards also must submit reports following the show explaining any major rules violations or other information that may be required. The show steward is an individual required to be of the highest ethical standard. Stewards must attend training both in a classroom setting and on the job, pass certain tests, and routinely attend additional educational program for licensure renewal. Next to the judge, the show steward is the most important official at the show. In the United States, most show stewards are licensed by the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF), though other breed and equestrian organizations that sanction shows also have their own programs for training and certifying their officials.

On The Job Training
On-the-job training (widely known as OJT) is an important topic of human resource management. It helps develop the career of the individual and the prosperous growth of the organization. On the job training is a form of training provided at the workplace. During the training, employees are familiarized with the working environment they will become part of. Employees also get a hands-on experience using machinery, equipment, tools, materials, etc. Part of on-the-job training is to face the challenges that occur during the performance of the job. An experienced employee or a manager are executing the role of the mentor who through written, or verbal instructions and demonstrations are passing on his/her knowledge and company-specific skills to the new employee. Executing the training on at the job location, rather than the classroom, creates a stress-free environment for the employees. On-the-job training is the most popular method of training not only in the United States but in most ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
