Richard Jeffery Seminar Kicks Off USEA Convention
Forty USEA members gathered together in the Arizona desert today at Joni Hegel’s Pinnacle Peak Equestrian Center in Phoenix, Arizona to learn the art of show jumping course design from Richard Jeffery. The day started in Frederic Bouland’s barn with a classroom lecture from Jeffery then moved out to the main arena where a course was constructed by the participants. Three demo riders then were able to ride the course and see it unfold.
