The U.S. Hunter Jumper Association is opening a 3-foot section of the Lindsay Maxwell Charitable Fund/USHJA Emerging Athletes Program during the Regional Training Session at Centenary University at its equestrian center in Long Valley June 24-28. The clinicians will be Karen Healey and Nanci Snyder.
It’s worth watching, even for those who are not participating.
The 3-foot sections give riders of all ages who meet the eligibility requirements the opportunity to experience the benefits of the Lindsay Maxwell Charitable Fund/USHJA Emerging Athletes Program at a 3-foot fence height.
During the intensive five-day Regional Training Sessions, riders 25 and under have the opportunity to work with top riding clinicians and some of the country’s leading stable managers, where instruction focuses on flatwork, gymnastics, related distances and course work, as well as an intensive stable-management curriculum that incorporates proper care and grooming, horsemanship skills, and barn management.
“The EAP is an incredible learning experience for young athletes who are passionate and dedicated to the sport and want to advance their riding and horsemanship skills,” said Sally Ike, USHJA Emerging Athletes Program Committee chair.
“We are also incredibly thankful to our returning title sponsor, the Lindsay Maxwell Charitable Fund, and to our Regional Training Session hosts for their continued support of the program. Because of their support and commitment to education, our athletes will be able to learn in world-class facilities from leading professionals in our industry.”
