United States Eventing Association

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.

About the USEA Eventing Coaches Program

Instructors are essential to the training of riders and horses for safe and educated participation in the sport of eventing. The USEA Eventing Coaches Program (ECP) was initiated in 2002 to educate all levels of eventing instructors with essential training principles upon which those instructors can continue to build throughout their teaching careers. ECP offers educational workshops and assessments by which both regular instructors, Level I through Level IV, Young Event Horse (YEH) instructors, and Young Event Horse professional horse trainers can become ECP certified. Additional information about ECP’s goals, benefits, workshops, and assessments as well as names and contact information for current ECP-certified instructors, YEH instructors, and YEH professional horse trainers are available is available on the USEA website.
