Dates Announced for the 2023 USEA Eventing Coaches Program Symposium
The USEA Eventing Coaches Program (ECP) Committee is pleased to announce the dates for the 2023 USEA ECP Symposium, which will be held on January 17-19 at Barnstaple Eventing in Morriston, Florida.
This year’s clinicians will include ECP Faculty members, as well as speakers and presenters to be announced at a future date.
The 2023 Symposium will follow the traditional symposium format of instruction of dressage, show jumping, and cross-country, at all levels. This will be a continuing education clinic for already ECP certified instructors. It is strongly recommended that all instructors attend this seminar.
This Symposium is also open to anyone who is not ECP certified, as it is an incredible educational opportunity. Interested in learning more about what to expect during this year's Symposium? Read up on the coverage from last year's event here and here.

Learning about Young Event Horses: Setting Goals
Many riders across all levels have found that working with young horses has provided them with the most valuable experiences in eventing. The opportunities for young event horses have never been more exciting. The Dutta Corp. USEA Young Event Horse East Coast and West Coast Championships continue to grow in profile as the culmination of a calendar of qualifying events is expanding to more areas of the country. More American riders and their young horses are aiming for the FEI WBFSH Eventing World Breeding Championships at Mondial du Lion in Le Lion D’Angers, France, particularly thanks to programs like the Holekamp/Turner YEH Lion d’Angers Grant. That’s become one of the most attended sporting events in the entire country. It’s given young event horses from the United States a chance to represent the growth of the American eventing community’s dedication to properly developing talent in the sport.
