“Cazenovia College is honored to be a host for this EAP regional training session,” said Professor Barb Lindberg. “The USHJA is to be commended for their work in helping to educate young riders, a value we at Cazenovia obviously prize as well.”
The EAP Committee will select 16 riders and several stable managers from the EAP Regional Training Sessions to attend the 2017 EAP National Training Session Nov. 9-12 at the George M. Humphrey Equestrian Center at Lake Erie College in Painesville, Ohio, where they will learn from Olympian Peter Wylde and stable manager Anne Thornbury.
