Opportunity for Dressage Young Horse enthusiasts
United States Equestrian Federation is providing the opportunity for riders, trainers, breeders and owners of Dressage Young Horses to participate in a tour of the FEI World Breeding Championships.
The 2013 Championship will take place in Verden, Germany on August 7-11, 2013. The tour will be led and organized by USEF Young Horse Coach Scott Hassler and will include tickets to the dressage events as well as meetings with European experts.
Participants will be responsible for their own travel to the Championships as well as meals and hotel. USEF will assist with obtaining hotel rooms.
The tour is open to anyone who has participated in the Markel/USEF Young Horse Dressage National Championships as a rider, trainer, owner or breeder.
Spaces in the tour will be reserved for but not limited to the winners of each age division (Four, Five and Six-Year-Old divisions) of the previous year's National Championship. Priority will also be given to those individuals who have been a rider, trainer, owner or breeder of U.S. bred horses.
