2023 USEF Dressage Program Clinics
USEF invites dressage riders to apply for the USEF Dressage Programs Clinics. The USEF Dressage Program Clinics are a new educational opportunity for senior, U25 and youth athletes and young horses through the Grand Prix level. The purpose of these clinics is to serve as talent scouting as an initiative of the Program Pathway. These clinics are taught by top U.S. coaches who are members of the USEF Dressage Coaches Support Network. Each clinic will be held over two days and participants will participate in 45-minute riding sessions and an interactive discussion over dinner led by the clinician. Athletes will be required to submit an online application along with a video by the deadline noted below. The video must show the applicant riding a complete dressage test at the level they are currently schooling, on the specific horse he or she is applying with. Applicants will be evaluated for clinic acceptance by review of the video submitted, USEF Rider/Horse Report, the age of the horse and the length of time the horse has been competing, and the information on the application. It is important to note there is no guarantee that you will receive membership to a USEF Dressage Program by participating in a Program Clinic.
