The NSBA Foundation is excited to present another Coaches Summit in Nashville, Tennessee this April 12-14, 2021. The Coaches Summit is a workshop presented as a special project of the NSBA Foundation for equine industry professionals, therapeutic riding center coaches, staff, volunteers or anyone interested in exploring opportunities for the engagement and expansion of current or new riding programs for Equestrians with Disabilities. The three-day program features instruction from industry professionals, post-secondary educators, therapeutic riding instructors and business and industry professionals.
The theme of the event is "A Model of Inclusion for All Riders". Instruction will concentrate on the value and inclusion of competition for Equestrians with Disabilities and Veterans using horses as a form of therapeutic riding, but also include grant writing, fundraising, strategies for building industry networks and open discussion panels for each topic. Additionally, on site learning activities will be conducted at Ryan Cottingim Show Horses in Shelbyville, Tennessee.
