Lexington, Ky. - The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) is pleased to release the schedules for the 2014 Markel/USEF Young Horse Dressage Training and Observation Sessions and 2014 USEF Youth Dressage Observation Sessions. Both the Markel/USEF Young Horse Dressage Program and USEF Youth Dressage Program are vital in creating a pipeline for future U.S. combinations to compete on the international stage.

The Markel/USEF Young Horse Dressage Training and Observation Sessions are open to all young horses between the ages of four and six. The goal of the training and observation sessions is for USEF Young Horse Coach Scott Hassler to work with the maximum number of up-and-coming talented young horses throughout the U.S. These clinics are open to all riders and applications can be found on the USEF website here.

The Markel/USEF Young Horse Dressage Training and Observation Sessions begin on February 15th in Ocala, Fla.
