This fall, the U.S. Equestrian Federation will offer Developing Dressage Training Clinics with Olympians Steffen Peters and Guenter Seidel.

The first clinic will take place with Peters at the USET Foundation headquarters in Gladstone, N.J., on Oct. 30-31. A second clinic is planned for early December in Florida with Guenter Seidel.
East Coast athletes currently on the 2009 USEF Dressage Long List for training and athletes on the USEF Developing Rider List will receive an invitation to participate.
Peters and Seidel will encourage riders attending the clinic to bring their own trainer with them. The purpose of these clinics is to educate, assist and promote the riders and their trainers in order to further enhance their progress.
Auditing will be based on rider invitation only; each rider may bring auditors to their individual training session. Auditors are not permitted to observe other training sessions unless they’ve specifically been invited by another rider to audit.
These clinics will focus on developing horse and riders in the United States. The USEF High Performance Dressage Committee anticipates continuing similar clinics into the 2010 year and beyond in order to further identify and advance the dressage talent in the United States. Participation in at least one of the Developing clinics may be mandatory to remain on the USEF Developing Rider List.
