The USEA Eventing Coaches Program (ECP) held their annual Symposium at Galway Downs in Temecula, California, from Jan. 14-16.
Each year, the ECP Symposium brings aspiring and certified coaches together for three days of learning. The goal of the Symposium is to exchange ideas and techniques about teaching horses and riders, all while following the philosophy of correct basics on the flat, over fences, and across the country.
Nearly 50 participants from across the country came ready to learn from ECP faculty and guest coaches and speakers this year. Click here to catch up on our coverage and check out some of our favorite photos below!
