Excellence in Endurance - APEX clinic in CANADA!!

A Partnership in Endurance Xcellence©

Seaway Valley Arabian Horse Association (SVAHA) is pleased and excited to present an APEX team clinic (www.apex-us.org) for the first time in Canada.

 

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 clinic is FOR YOU!

Join us as John Crandell III (2007 Horseman of the Year and 2006 Endurance “triple crown” winner), Stagg Newman (former AERC President and top competitor with over 20 100 mile wins), and Dr. Ann Stuart, DVM (Chef D'Equipe of Gold Medal Winning USA East teams and team vet for USA WEG team), present a comprehensive, fascinating and completely interactive seminar on Excellence in Endurance.
