The International Equestrian Masters Symposium is a conference designed to educate and advance the rider. This symposium stresses the importance of the rider's mental confidence, soft and quiet hands, balanced seat, and supportive legs in developing a precise "feel" tailored to the horse's performance. The Symposium will be held at First Class Horse Complex, LTD. in Bristol, Wisconsin on September 14th and 15th 2013.
