Endurance Seminars & Clinics

The Old Dominion Equestrian Endurance Organization plans to host endurance riding and training clinics, seminars, and webinars throughout the year. These special educational events range from lectures and demonstrations, to mounted rides on trails with experienced endurance riders as mentors.

 

All are welcome: from wannabees, to newbies, to seasoned veterans.

There is something for everyone.

Clinics and Seminars require pre-registration.

If you have ideas of topics you would like us to present,

send a note to Clinic Registration.
