Horsemastership encompasses mounted sessions as well as stable management, veterinary care and nutrition. Experts from throughout the equestrian world will lend their expertise in both mounted and educational sessions. The aim of the Training Session is to develop a pipeline of young “horsemasters” for future U.S. Equestrian Teams.
The USEFNetwork.com presented by Smartpak will host wall-to-wall coverage from the George Morris Horsemastership Training Session. The public is also welcome to audit all mounted and educational sessions at no charge.
The final schedule will be available in December. For additional information on the 2013 George H. Morris Horsemastership Training Session, contact Lizzy Chesson at lchesson@usef.org.
