The USEA Educational Symposium Will Not Be Held in 2021
The USEA is sorry to announce that there will be no USEA Educational Symposium held in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The USEA Educational Symposium is hosted annually each February as a week of learning for participants and auditors. For the past several years the USEA Instructors' Certification Program (ICP), the USEA Young Event Horse Program (YEH), and the USEA Future Event Program (FEH) have joined forces to create an unmatched educational opportunity with renowned clinicians.
The USEA hopes the Educational Symposium will return to the calendar in 2022, but in the meantime read a few favorite articles from past symposia to pick up some tidbits before heading into 2021.
