Time is racing on to the 2017 International Eventing Forum, with only a matter of weeks to grab the early bird ticket price of just £45 per ticket, if you buy your ticket before the end of December 2016!
The sport of eventing has changed considerably over the decades, but the speed of change has escalated dramatically in recent years. With many more rule changes coming on stream in the New Year, the 2017 International Eventing Forum offers an unrivalled opportunity to learn from many of the sport’s elite athletes and trainers and gain invaluable insights into how to maximise success in the seasons to come.
Now a ‘must attend’ event for eventing competitors and trainers of all levels of ability and ambition, the International Eventing Forum is a full day of interactive training and demonstrations, which takes place annually at Hartpury College. With a well-earned reputation of presenting some of the sport’s most influential riders, trainers and competitors, the line-up for the 6th of February 2017 looks as impressive as ever.
During the morning sessions, attendees will get to enjoy and learn from two ladies who excel in training for top performance: Tracie Robinson – dressage trainer for Equestrian Team GBR and Caroline Moore – FBHS and BE u18 and Junior Team Coach. Attendees will then get insights into how three top class eventing grooms – Alex van Tuyll, Imo Mercer and Zanie King work to travel and keep horses fit and sound and at peak performance, when it’s needed most.

The feature afternoon session will be led by Badminton’s new course designer – Eric Winter – and will explore and discuss *Next Generation* cross country course design. He will be ably supported by the 2016 Burghley Champion Christopher Burton and by Sam Griffiths [both members of Australia’s Bronze medal winning team at Rio) who will share their training techniques for their *Next Generation* medal horses.
Representatives from the Willberry Wonder Pony Charity will have a stand on the day, so there will be an opportunity to support this worthy cause and help to #kickcancersbutt in memory of the amazing Hannah Francis.
So if you want to get your 2017 eventing season off on the best foot possible, put the 6th of February 2017 in your diary and book your tickets today!
