VIDEOS: Behind the Instructor's Eyes at the 2020 USEA ICP Symposium
In lieu of the USEA Educational Symposium, which could not be held this year due to COVID-19, this week we are bringing you educational content from the USEA Instructors' Certification Program, the USEA Young Event Horse program, and the USEA Future Event Horse program.
The first two days of the 2020 USEA Educational Symposium were devoted to the USEA Instructors' Certification Program, teaching attendees how to be better, more effective instructors. The symposium's guest clinician, German Olympian and world-renowned rider Andreas Dibowski, spent the first day focused on dressage, working with demo riders and horses from Beginner Novice to Advanced of all ages, breeds, and sizes.
The second day was all about jumping, reiterating many of the themes Dibowski focused on in the lessons on day one and applying them to riding over fences. These themes were consistent with each group of horses and riders, from Beginner Novice to Advanced.
