2007 USHJA California Trainer
Symposium Registration is Now
Open
Registration and host hotel information for the San
Juan Capistrano, CA symposium is now available. Click here to register and make your hotel
reservations. Register by August 1 to receive the special reduced registration rate!
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 two 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. Click here to view the
complete schedule.
What do last year's symposium attendees and
demonstration riders have to say about the USHJA Trainers
Symposiums?
“Two of my fellow
instructors at Sweet Briar and I made the 20 hour drive to Palm Beach last
year for the USHJA's first Trainer's Symposium and to say that it was
worth the time is truly an understatement. While we certainly brought away
new exercises and insights from the experience, we all agreed that the
most important benefit was the reaffirmation that what we believe and are
teaching is in harmony with the teaching and training philosophy of some
of the top professionals in our sport. The chance to ask questions of the
clinicians and to network with professionals from across the country was
an amazing bonus.”
-Shelby French, Sweet Briar,VA -2006 Trainer
Symposium Attendee
"I think is great and needed. It is nice to
see other training methods and techniques. You can always learn no matter
what."
-Margie Engle,
Wellington, FL-2006 Trainer Symposium Demonstration Rider
