Apply to Host an EAP Regional or National Training Session!
|
|
Time is running out to apply to host a 2015 USHJA Emerging Athletes Program Regional or National Training Session, presented by Dover Saddlery! Regional Training Sessions are five days in length with 24 riders and their horses being invited to attend. The National Training Session, coupled with the Horsemanship Quiz Challenge Finals presented by Sweet Briar College, is four days in length with multiple EAP riders and HQC Finalists being invited to attend.
The host facility does not have to be a show facility to be considered. Private farms, boarding facilities, universities, prep schools, et cetera may apply, as long as the facility can meet USHJA/EAP requirements.
"The kids are phenomenal and amazing to watch progress during the intensive training sessions. Both kids and parents are so appreciative of the opportunity and the wonderful learning experience that the Emerging Athletes Program provides. It's a personal thing to give back to the sport that has given so much to me, and I look forward to applying to host again in 2015." -Bob Bell, The Classic Company
To access the online application and to read the host facility requirements, please visit the Emerging Athletes Program page of our webiste. The deadline to apply is October 1, 2014.
