Arts and Bragdell to Present the 2017 USDF Sport Horse Prospect Development Forum
Lexington, KY (January 23, 2017) – The United
States Dressage Federation (USDF) is pleased to announce Willy Arts and Michael
Bragdell as the instructors for the 2017 USDF Sport Horse Prospect Development
Forum. This year's event will, again, feature a live forum approach and provide
a correct, fundamental system for starting sport horse prospects. The program
is for anyone with the goal of developing a consistent training foundation for
sport horse prospects as they progress from in-hand to under-saddle, and
eventual competition.
This year's forum will be held
May 13-14 at Isabella Farms in Cypress, TX. Trainers and horses will be
identified to participate through a selection process, and will work with the
instructors throughout the forum. The forum environment will also engage
auditors, consisting of breeders, trainers, and owners throughout the sessions,
in an interactive setting Participants and auditors will also learn the
necessary tools to be able to select and evaluate sport horse prospects before
purchase, as well as the key elements needed in a trainer.
“We are so excited that this
year's USDF Sport Horse Prospect Development Forum will be held at Isabella
Farms. This will be the first year we have held the forum in this part of the
country. We are also very excited that Michael Bragdell has joined our faculty
and will be presenting with Willy Arts. These forums are a great educational
opportunity, and are spreading correct training of the young dressage prospect
to more and more people every year. We look forward to another great weekend,
with wonderful horses, riders, location, and presenters,” stated Kristi
Wysocki, USDF Sport Horse Committee Chair.
