Join us as we bring to you Jan Brink, of Sweden, as he leads the symposium. A lineup of riders will take you through Jan's methodologies and training as it applies to each horse and rider pair. Click here to see it in the Specialty Content section.

This is a fabulous training piece as the demo riders are focusing for the most part on basics. Most riders are riding at the national level, thus it applies to every riders needs. (thru 4th level/M Level).
