This post highlights the opportunity for Pony Club members who are interested in Hunter Seat Equitation to participate in the Emerging Athletes Program (EAP) as part of the U.S. Hunter Jumper Assocation (USHJA). Here’s a short description:

“USHJA applauds the importance that the USPC places on horsemanship and education, and the success its members have experienced as a result. The EAP provides additional opportunities for riders to benefit from the knowledge and experience of top hunter/jumper clinicians and stable managers during intensive four-day regional clinics. The program includes flat work, gymnastics, course work, and a comprehensive stable management curriculum. From the regional clinics, 16 riders will be selected to advance to the National Training Session and compete for the title of the EAP National Champion and a $3,000 grant for advanced training.”
