“I’m looking forward to helping develop our up-and-coming dressage talent and am especially excited to travel to the East Coast and see all the great horses and riders from the other side of our country,” said the California-based Seidel.
These clinics are in addition to the previously announced USEF Developing Clinic with reigning FEI World Cup Final and CDIO Aachen Champion Steffen Peters, which will be held Oct. 30-31 at the USET Foundation Headquarters in Gladstone, N.J.
East and West coast athletes currently on the 2009 USEF Dressage Long List for training and athletes on the USEF Developing Rider List will receive an invitation sent by the USEF Dressage Department.
Riders attending the clinic will be strongly encouraged to bring their personal trainer.
