Looking for something meaningful to give your coach for Christmas?

How about a trip to the USEA Eventing Coaches Program Symposium?

Where coaches can:

Talk freely about common successes and roadblocks in their businesses - and get honest, experienced based feedback from their peers.

Network with other professionals from across the country.

Talk about what's important to their personal goals, and what's important for the future of the sport.

Work together with their peers to solve common and uncommon rider and horse problems, with actual horses and riders at multiple different levels.

Hear from the highest level of expertise in the country, from International superstars, and from support experts in the realms of sport psychology, equine legal advisors, horsemanship for the sport now and for the future, and much, much more.

This is like a wellness and rejuvenation spa for your coach!

This year the symposium will feature:
*Q and A with well-known international superstars
*FEI 5* judge Peter Gray evaluating and discussing live dressage tests
*A presentation by sports psychologist and equestrian Natalie Hummel
*Expert legal advice from Yvonne Ocrant
*Horsemanship for our sport with the 2025 Wofford Cup recipient Max Corcoran

And the signature, interactive, inclusive, group activities: round table discussions and live problem solving with demo riders at various levels.

What is the benefit of joining ECP?

Good instruction is the leading influence on minimizing risk to horse and rider. With influence comes responsibility. Instructors should be held to a standard. Certification supports the premise that event instructors are professionals who:

-maintain high standards for teaching and horse care
-who understand their commitment and responsibility to safety
-who embrace their commitment to their own life-long learning
-who honor the development of eventing.

Certification is a means that can be used to prove and defend our adherence to best practices in a world where our social license is under continuous scrutiny. Certified instructors contribute to the long-term credibility and survival of our sport in this country. The more unified we are in our approach to and understanding of safety and horse welfare, the better for the future of our sport! It is important as a community to prove that we adhere to a certain set of standards for safety, skill and horse welfare. By becoming certified, you are contributing to the strength of our eventing community and to the stability of the sport!
