National and World Championship Competitions are fundamentally based on the assessment of conformation and athleticism traits, presentation of horses in hand and a theory test. Training days also provide a fantastic opportunity to engage with some of the best professionals in the business.

The programme is also open for educational purposes to those who don’t necessarily wish to pursue competition goals but simply to develop their knowledge and skill in the area of evaluation of horses. Limited training dates in 2019 for those not engaged in team selelction.
