United States Eventing Association

Further Your At-Home Education with Austin Eventing's Wine Wednesday Webinars

In the days before the coronavirus, USEA ICP Certified Instructor Lisa Bauman of Austin Eventing would host "Wine Wednesdays" with members of her barn. "Back in the day, we would have group jump lessons, then all get together for a social/educational evening," Bauman explained. But, when the coronavirus made social gatherings impossible, Bauman had the idea to move the hangouts to a virtual setting, and the Wine Wednesday Webinars were born.

"Since we can't get together once a week to share food, adult beverages, and equine stories, we wanted to keep our community connected by offering an online version," Bauman continued. "Think of it as our virtual barn shindig! The two major advantages of moving to an online platform are 1) we can bring on guest speakers and have educational experiences with people we wouldn't have access to otherwise and 2) nobody has to worry about driving!"

"All joking aside, the barn gives us a sense of belonging. Providing ways for our equine family to grow stronger has been the motivation to get these webinars up and running!"

Bauman said anyone and everyone are invited to join the webinars, all they have to do is register! Click here for registration.

Wine Wednesday Webinar: Danny Warrington
Wednesday, May 13

Danny Warrington is a former leading steeplechase jockey turned international advanced three-day eventer. He has spent most of his life learning from the best. In his racing years, he spent time with hall of fame trainers Johnathan Sheppard and Mikey Smithwick as well as Janet Elliot. When it came to eventing the same approach was taken, riding only with the best including Bruce Davidson, Karen O'Connor, Jimmy Wofford, and Phillip Dutton. This gave him the comprehensive education, becoming not a 'jockey' or an 'eventer' but a horseman. A deep passion for safety and personal responsibility has lead him to this point. Danny’s goal is to bring riders as much knowledge in self-preservation as possible in a safe and controlled environment. He has spent years watching, studying, and developing an understanding of riders’ reactions, both instinctual and learned, and this gives him the ability to teach what is missing between reaction and response.
