Friday, December 8th at 7:30 pm before the YEDA ‘Twas the Show Before Christmas there will be a ride the pattern clinic with AQHA professional trainer and director of the UF Western Equestrian Program, Art O’Brien.

O’Brien has more than 30 years’ experience in the equine industry as a trainer, rider, and coach.

An AQHA Professional Horseman and an international clinician, he has won World Champion titles in both AQHA and Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC) in Trail, Western Riding, Western Pleasure and Reining and his students have won World Champion titles in 12 different events. He is a phenomenal equine professional and YEDA is so excited to have him share his vast knowledge with our riders.

YEDA would like to carry on the tradition of philanthropy and patriotism! YEDA will be providing Christmas Cards at this horse show, and we would like the YEDA Members, coaches, parents, and spectators to take a moment and sign cards and include some encouraging words for our service men and women! These cards will then be sent to deployed service members.
