Dressage Clinics



USEF Dressage Clinics are educational opportunities for combinations seeking to compete at FEI levels and include 1-2 days of training. A clinic may be offered as part of the USEF Dressage Training Series or as a Pathway Program Training & Evaluation Session. Clinics offer an opportunity for athletes to experience a higher level or new approach to instruction, identify potential future team combinations, and for USEF to learn about you and your horse’s future goals. Athletes are required to complete an online application and up to 10 combinations will be selected to participate.

Subject to changes and additions, please check for updates.
