We have a jam-packed schedule, so you will always have something to get involved in. Click here for the highlights that you just can’t miss. This is a huge learning opportunity for Eventing enthusiasts. There will be countless seminars, taught by industry professionals, to learn something new, or to learn more on something you’re already passionate about.

Catch up on this year’s speakers:

Daniel Stewart: Equestrian Sport Psychology/Equestrian Fitness Bootcamp

Tik Maynard: How Horses Learn to Event

Cat Hill/Emma Ford: Professional Grooming Tips

Allyn Man: Adequan: Not All Joint Products are Created Equal

Aside from the seminars, there are also open forums where you can be involved in the future of the sport. One in particular is the Eventing 2016-2026 Summit, which will be a Town Hall style forum. We have blocked off a portion of Saturday morning so that we can have full attendance and participation. The sport of Eventing has seen massive change just in the last ten years. Looking forward to the next ten years, we need input from our members on making Eventing, and the Association, the best it can be.
