Breeders Symposium

Sporthorse
breeders with an interest in eventing won't want to miss the inaugural
Event Horse Breeders Symposium to be held April 24-23, 2003, during
the Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event at the Kentucky Horse Park.
The
symposium, organized by USA Equestrian and presented by the Performance
Horse Registry (PHR), is the creation of Breeders Committee chairman
Denny Emerson, correspondent Robby Johnson, and PHR founder, Ned
Bonnie. Designed to help educate breeders on the finer points
of breeding for eventing, this symposium will feature a conformation
evaluation of world class event horses Giltedge, Prince Panache
and Molokai. Pedigree analysis of 2003 Rolex entries, and commentary
by several noted experts, including Jim Graham, Drs. Kent Allen
and Peter Birdsall, Denny Emerson, Dorothy Crowell (plus others
not available at press time), will also anchor the agenda.
Emerson
said, "The time has come for breeders in America to focus
on breeding horses with the express intent of careers in eventing.
We hope this symposium will be a launching point for the development
of more programs for other breeds and disciplines."
Cost
is $50 per person ($25 for juniors) for the two-day presentation.
The symposium is conveniently scheduled shortly after Rolex daily
competition concludes. Reservations are required and enrollment
is limited to 150 people.
