Hunter, Jumper and Equitation Trainers Headed to Colorado for the USHJA
Trainers Symposium
USHJA is proud to offer a USHJA Trainers
Symposium September 8-10, 2008 at the Colorado Horse Park in Parker, CO.
This is your chance as riders and trainers to watch, listen, and ask
questions from some of the top trainers in the country. The clinicians
include Alison Firestone Robitalle, Valerie Renihan and Kitty
Barker. The Symposiums offer attendees a rare opportunity to
participate in practical training sessions and round table discussions
with top professionals in the industry. The schedule offers three
days of hunters, equitation and jumpers. Each of the disciplines is
broken into sections: i.e. Junior Hunters, Intermediate Equitation and
Junior/Amateur Owner Jumpers. The sections will have 3-4
demonstration riders for the clinician to work and explain different
techniques, exercises and tips for various levels of riders and
horses. This is a great opportunity for professionals and members to
exchange thoughts and ideas on training exercises, training aids, and
business practices.
