Twenty participants will be selected to attend a Richard Jeffery Show Jumping Design clinic, to be held September 15-18 during the United States Eventing Association's American Eventing Championships at the Carolina Horse Park in Raeford, NC. Participants will be chosen from completed applications. Enrollment priority will be for current course designers; each application should include a resume of course design experience in both cross-country and show jumping, as well as the applicant's intentions within each area. If selected, each person is to bring, in advance, a course plan for all the show jumping tracks on Saturday and Sunday, Training through Advanced levels, from which Jeffery will pick one to build.
