The Youth Outreach Clinics are an exciting way for youth riders to connect, learn, and grow. These clinics introduce dedicated youth riders to the opportunities of the USDF youth pipeline for development in the sport. Youth may gain hands-on experience as a rider or build their knowledge base as an auditor.

Each two-day clinic is designed to meet the current needs of the youth in the region. The rider’s days will include 45-minute mounted sessions with the instructor, lunchtime lectures with interactive discussion, and an evening gathering. Interested riders are invited through an online application process. There are 8-10 spots available for participants ages 10-21 who are able, at a minimum, to complete a Training Level test.

All youth and their designated chaperones are welcome to audit at no cost. Youth members, parents, and trainers are encouraged to meet one another and build friendships going forward in the USDF programs. Adult USDF members may audit for $20/day, and non-members may audit for $40/day. Auditor registration is available by walk-in only.

Youth are also encouraged to take advantage of an additional educational opportunity by attending a USDF FEI Youth Clinic as an auditor.  For more information on the USDF FEI Youth Clinic Series click here.
