As always, Dressage4Kids is sponsoring this event, but emphasizes that it is open to horse lovers of all ages, all levels, and all disciplines of riding, along with instructors and judges. Those interested in horses and wishing to increase their equine knowledge will enjoy this unique program, which will be held at the newly renovated Nonnewaug High School, in Woodbury, CT.  All classrooms are ADA accessible.  On Saturday January 25, Olympian Lendon Gray will mastermind an Instructors Track, which offers professionals the chance to discuss teaching methods and gather ideas from top instructors.  On Sunday, January 26, USEF “S” Judge Margaret Freeman will lead the USDF Region 8 Judges Forum.
