Young Breeders Program
Young Breeders Sport Horse Educational Program
The Young Breeders Sport Horse Educational program is making strides to groom equine enthusiasts
for the exciting world of sport horses. Backed by the well respected and renowned Dressage4Kids (D4K)
organization, the "Young Breeders Sport Horse Educational Program" is bringing young breeders
together across breeding associations, countries, and languages. The participants are quickly forming a
network that will facilitate the exchange of ideas and information to assist them in creating the ideal
Sport Horse of tomorrow.
The Youth Dressage Festival includes a Sport Horse Handling and Judging competition. Ages 10 and up are accepted.
