George Morris Horsemastership Training Session
supported by the USEF, USHJA, USET Foundation, Purina Mills, ASPCA, Practical Horseman, WEF, Adequan and Equus Foundation
2008 participants with Mr. George Morris
"When I reflect on the experiences of the final day and the week as a whole, my thoughts and conclusions are as follows. When you put in one hundred and fifty percent effort both mentally and physically, you can get the maximum benefit of whatever you are doing. When you feel privileged that you have gotten to know a talented, young horse and appreciative of the great riders and informative clinicians involved, the time spent is even more worthwhile. I am thankful for the sponsors, organizations and innovators of the clinic's development and recognize that without their time and effort, the program would not have been such a success." Maria Schaub on her experience at the clinic in 2008, for more on her experience as a 2008 participant, click here!
