Those Who Teach…

Trainer certification helps students understand who they can trust to correctly guide them on their equestrian journey. In 2021, the United States Eventing Association (USEA) changed their Certification Program to align with FEI competition levels, but instructors found it difficult to meet the requirements to obtain certification at Level I and II. The USEA has revamped the system, now called the USEA Eventing Coaches Program (ECP) to make it easier to become certified at the lower levels.

Grooming to Win

Learning from peers is one of the best ways to gain knowledge. A new online community dedicated to grooms has just been launched. HorseGrooms (https://horsegrooms.com/) was founded by Dinette Neuteboom, to bring together grooms of all levels and from all backgrounds to share experiences, trade information, and connect with others who understand what it means to be a groom. If you are a groom or want to be one (or just want to learn from the best), check it out!
