ESNZ Youth Equestrian Forum

 

 Dressage ESNZ has seized the opportunity to utilise the expertise of Jeremy Steinberg, USEF Youth Dressage Coach,  as presenter for a Youth Forum on Thursday the 25 August, prior to the FEI Regional Dressage Forum at Manfeild Park. 

Dressage NZ is pleased to invite all riders up to the age of 21 to attend the Pfizer Animal Health Youth Equestrian Forum AT NO COST !  School Equestrian Clubs & Teams, Pony Clubs, youth riders and their coaches are offered this wonderful opportunity to experience the first Youth Forum ever to be held in New  Zealand.

Jeremy will lead sessions as listed below.  Demonstration riders for the day will come from the Dressage NZ Young Rider  Talent  ID Squad and will include a short display of the sport at its highest level, Grand Prix.

The Guest Trainer Washington based Jeremy Steinberg says “  I have a real passion for the less than average horse becoming a Grand Prix horse and have trained a lot of them in my life so that is something that always gets me going.  I believe in really "Teaching" as opposed to coaching and have a strong conviction for training riders to become thinking riders who can problem solve and work on their own as most of us have to on a daily basis.  I think that is a huge part of the USEF Youth Coaching appointment as I am very outspoken about riders learning to be self sufficient and believing in themselves.

Steinberg is really excited about being invited to present at the forum comes highly recommended by international US Grand Prix competitor Debbie McDonald.   www.jeremysteinbergdressage.com
