United States Dressage Federation (USDF), in conjunction with the Palm Beach Dressage Derby, Inc., announced that the 2007 FEI-Level Trainers' Conference is set for January 14-15 at High Meadow Farm in Loxahatchee, FL. The conference will feature Jan Brink, the current Swedish National Dressage Champion for the fifth year in a row. In addition to the two-day conference, a Biomechanics Seminar on the Pyramid of Training, with Dr. Hilary Clayton, will be held on January 13 at the Palm Beach Hotel.

All trainers' conference attendees must meet certain attendance criteria, as posted on the USDF website, and they and their guests—up to a maximum of three—must be USDF participating members. However, the biomechanics seminar is open to everyone.

In addition to his current Swedish national championship, Brink was the 2005 winner of the Dressage Championships in Aachen, was awarded the Individual and Team Bronze at the 2005 European Championships and was awarded the Individual Silver at the 2003 European Championships.

"We are excited to have Jan as our featured presenter at this year's Trainers' Conference," stated Katherine Robertson, Senior Coordinator for the program. "Jan encourages riders to find a horse that will compliment their riding style."
