🇵🇹Curso de Formação de Juízes de Equitação de Trabalho

Durante a IV Jornada do Campeonato Nacional de Equitação de Trabalho, no Vimeiro, realizou-se um curso de formação de juízes, com a presença de três juízas americanas e uma australiana. A formação foi orientada pelo juiz internacional António Vicente e foi considerada muito útil pelas participantes.

A iniciativa contou ainda com cerca de 35 cavaleiros, treinadores e interessados da USAWE, que assistiram às sessões e mostraram grande interesse pela modalidade. O grupo ficou impressionado com a qualidade das provas e pretende regressar em 2026.

Around 35 riders, trainers, and enthusiasts from USAWE also attended and showed great interest. Impressed by the event’s quality, they plan to return in 2026.
