Attention All Riders - USDF & USEA Adult Education Camp

Updated: April 22, 2009

The 20th annual USDF & USEA Adult Education Camp is being held Monday, June 8th, through Friday, June 13th, at the Green Mountain Horse Association (GMHA) in Woodstock, VT.

This camp provides a wonderful educational riding experience. This is my 5th year and I have to say I was hooked from day 1. It is held in one of the most beautiful areas in Woodstock, VT. GMHA is an amazing place tailored towards all disciplines of riding. The facility is now undergoing major renovations due to a successful Capital Campaign. (To find out more about GMHA go to www.gmhainc.org.)

The camp organized by Barbara Marks (who is the most energetic, enthusiastic and fun person I have ever met) gathers together some of the top eventing and dressage instructors in the country.

Michael Page, 3 time Olympian, inducted into the Eventing Hall of Fame. He is a wonderful instructor.

Jane Hamlin, who is a local instructor and eventer and FEI CT judge.

Bobby Costello, a successful Olympian in Eventing.

Jim Koford, who has competed Advanced level in Eventing and Grand Prix Level in Dressage. He also has been chosen to study and compete for 2 months in Frankfurt, Germany with Conrad Schumacher.

Robert Stevenson, gives excellent lessons on improving your jumping.

John Zopatti, USDF Gold Medallist.

Holger Bechtloff, USDF Gold Medallist.

Diane Ritz, FEI Rider and trainer.

The camp offers 2 lessons a day - dressage instructions are private and jumping (whether it is stadium or cross country) has no more than 3 people in a group. If you are only interested in dressage, please note that on your application. There are many lectures and demonstrations offered. Meals are included (breakfast, lunch and dinner). Fee does not include lodging, a list is available of places nearby.

Don't miss this experience of a life time - A chance to ride with top instructors, be in a beautiful setting, meet great people, have fun and most important bond with your horse! (any questions contact Barbara Marks, barbaragmarks@comcast.net)
