The Countdown is ON – to the 2013 International Eventing Forum
With the new Eventing season fast approaching, time is running out to secure your tickets for the 2013 International Eventing Forum to get your season off on the ‘best hoof’ possible!
The date is Monday 4th February, the place is Hartpury College, and the experience will be out of this world, as the speaker list for this full day of ‘interactive training’ reads like a ‘who’s who’ of Eventing greats.
The legendary (and now Sir) Mark Todd, winner of pretty much every Eventing title there is, from Olympic Gold medals, to Badminton, Burghley and everything in between, will be joined by Ian Woodhead, David O’Connor and Mike Etherington-Smith in this prestigious line up of Eventing Royalty!
The title for the 2013 forum is “Journey to the Top”, with this interactive day designed to benefit riders of all skill levels and ambitions, whether your goal is to win Badminton, or simply to compete at your first BE90, Intro, Riding Club or Pony Club event.
The day will start with Top Dressage Coach Ian Woodhead and his wife Heidi, who will present ‘How Both Ends Meet’ – from the beginning to the finished product, helping everyone to understand how to establish the essentials that will enable them to produce top competition horses.
Attendees will then learn from the New Zealand Eventing Legend – Sir Mark Todd whose Show Jumping based demo “The Jumping Ladder” will address key tools in optimising both the Horse and Rider’s Show Jumping performance, which is such an important phase in present day Eventing.
The day will finish with Mike Etherington-Smith, designer of the 2000 Sydney and the 2008 Beijing Olympic cross country courses, as well as the 2010 World Games at Kentucky – and many other famous tracks, who will be joined by USA Olympic Gold Medal Eventer and the NEW Coach to the American Eventing Team, David O’Connor (back by popular request) in a ‘Course Designer vs Coach’ scenario, where Mike will pose the questions and David will coach the solutions.
The annual International Eventing Forum is an essential date in the diary for aspiring professional and amateur riders, trainers, owners and breeders , so don’t delay and put Monday 4th February 2013 in your diary, today!
