The USEA Instructors’ Certification Program (ICP) Committee is happy to announce the return of the USEA ICP Symposium, which will be held on February 8 - 9, 2022 at Barnstaple South in Ocala, Florida.
This year’s clinicians will include ICP Faculty members: Mary D’Arcy, Phyllis Dawson, Jim Graham, Eric Horgan, Dayna Lynd-Pugh, David and Karen O’Connor, Mark Phillips, Jerry Schurink, and Robin Walker. Additional speakers/presenters will be announced in the future.
The 2022 Symposium will follow the traditional symposium format of instruction of dressage, show jumping, and cross-country, at all levels. New this year will be the introduction of the nationwide standards for each competition level, basics of sports psychology, teaching to all learning modalities, and essential coaching knowledge.
This will be a continuing education clinic for already Certified Instructors. It is strongly recommended that all instructors attend this seminar.
This Symposium is also open to anyone who is not ICP Certified, as it will be a wonderful educational opportunity.
