Rider Development Days
OEA’s Rider Development Days are open to riders from other disciplines seeking to try out Eventing, along with OEA members competing at the lower levels (EV60-EV90) and members who are in a new equine partnership or developing a horse that is new to Eventing.
Riders are responsible for their own safety and the safety of their horse while attending a Rider Development Day.
Discover eventing with rider development days!
Whether you're new to eventing or looking to build confidence at the EV60–EV90 levels, OEA Rider Development
Days offer a fun, supportive way to grow your skills. Ride at top EC-sanctioned venues, work with professional,
licensed Eventing Coaches and develop your skills in a non-competitive, welcoming environment.
Designed to safely introduce new riders to Eventing and help lower-level OEA members build skills and confidence in a noncompetitive setting.
Held at EC-sanctioned venues with licensed coaches, the program welcomes riders from other disciplines, eventers with green horses or those working on new equine partnerships are welcome!
By subsidizing the clinic costs, the OEA is creating opportunities to experience eventing and the venues of our
Ontario Horse Trial organizers.
All OEA development days will offer cross country schooling “in season” and at the organizers discretion, opportunities for dressage and stadium schooling.
Your Ontario Eventing Association is working to create opportunities for you to become familiar with our sanctioned venues, improve your Eventing skills and build confidence!
This is a great way to meet riders from the Ontario Eventing community!
Rider development days may be:
-
A one-day cross-country clinic, or
-
A one-day cross-country clinic ‘Plus’ that adds stadium jumping and/or dressage.
All participants must have a current Ontario Equestrian (OE) membership.
Upcoming rider development days
The OEA is proud to present a variety of rider development days every year with licensed eventing clinicians.
