caliber · Site Admin

"The first clinic to select the Paso Equitation USA Team to compete in the CONFEPASO Youth Mundial in Medellin, Colombia (July 13 - 20/2008) was held at the Ocala Equestrian Complex (Ocala, FL) on March 22.
Mr. Diego Bravo and Mr. Carlos Tobon (coaches) worked with the participants (ten) ranging 7 to 24 years old. At the end of the clinic the participants were evaluated and filmed (Galopando TV).

Two more clinics are going to be held on April 12: One in Miami (FL) with Mrs. Alejandra Escudero and Mr. Jaime Escudero (coaches). The other clinic will be held in Troy (IL) with Ms. Christy Meyer (coach) and Mr. Rick Meyer (Team advisor).

At the end of April the coaches will make a final decision of those riders who will make the Team, and then they will intensify the training sessions. The plan is to have a very competitive Team of riders that can proudly represent the United States in this important international competition.

The Paso Equitation USA Team needs sponsors to help with part of the expenses."
