The Seaway Valley Arabian Horse Association
(SVAHA) is sponsoring a comprehensive, fascinating, and completely interactive
seminar on Excellence in Endurance
(www.apex-us.org)
covering characteristics of the endurance horse, then focusing on
conditioning programs.
Have you thought about distance riding and
asked yourself,
Can my horse and I do the distance?
Are you already competing in distance riding and wondered,
Am I doing the right things in my training program?
Did I make the right choices during a competition?
How can my horse and I 'peak' at just the right time?
Are you a pit crew and want to learn more about how to help your team?
Are you a veterinarian or lay judge and want to learn more about what to watch
for during endurance competition or training?
THEN THIS SEMINAR IS FOR YOU!
Join us on Feb 28 and March 1st for a dynamic and
educational seminar with some of the best in the sport.
