The USEF Eventing High Performance Spring Training Lists for the 2013 season have just been released. Riders have been teasing us on facebook and Twitter for the past few hours, so we’ve had a few leaks about who might have made it. The lists have been redesigned for 2013 and this is a targeted approach to identify talented horse/rider combinations for future championship teams.
The Global Talent and World Class combinations will be participating in training sessions with Chef d’Equipe David O’Connor in Aiken, South Carolina, Gilroy and Temecula, California, or Ocala, Florida. These combinations will also receive training allowances for individual coaching.
National Listed combinations will be invited to participate in training sessions when time is available. Additionally, combinations on all three lists will have continuous access to coaching by O’Connor throughout the season.
