EAP sessions are held over five days with athletes participating in mounted flatwork, gymnastics exercises and coursework as well as intensive stable management lessons. Athletes also spend time auditing and hearing presentations from guest speakers at the sessions.
Auditing is available for the riding portions of the session at Colorado Horse Park for $50 per day. There is no charge for auditing the riding portions at World Equestrian Center.
These are the final sessions of the year, with more than 180 athletes participating in the program across the country.
Following the Regional Training Sessions, 16 of the Regional Training Session participants and a select number of stable managers will be invited to attend the National Training Session Nov. 8-11 at
University of Findlay in Ohio.
