For over 40 years Jan Smith has selflessly contributed to the equestrian discipline of dressage across all levels from grassroots to Olympic.

The longevity, impact and diversity of roles Jan fulfills is evidence of her extraordinary dedication, excellence and commitment.

Jan has been a National Selector for the elite Australian dressage teams for many years. She is renown for her passion for developing the next generation of riders and ensuring the sustainability of our sport through her highly successful, comprehensive and integrated Young Rider Development Program.

Jan’s extensive, up to date and reliable knowledge of rules, along with her highly regarded integrity, makes her the ‘go to’ official for dressage at a state and national level. She mentors other officials on both a formal and informal basis.

Jan’s attitude is one that is described as ‘more than 100% committed’, ‘tenacious’, and ‘tireless’.
