REGION 1 By: Heather Humelbaugh Hello to Region 1! I am working on getting up to speed with this whole director thing! I’ve signed in to official email and have scheduled my first zoom meeting with the zone championship committee. I have also started a blog for region...December 2021
Dear USAWE Members,
Happy (almost) New Year! As we close out 2021 and head into 2022, I’m very inspired by all the awesome plans and activities already underway for next year….
Stephanie Hayes of the Center for America’s First Horse
Stephanie Hayes has been working in the horse industry all of her adult life as a rider, trainer and competitor in a variety of disciplines. For over twenty years she has been a natural horsemanship clinician blending in the fundamentals of dressage to riders of all disciplines and levels. In 2017 she attended her first Working Equitation clinic and was inspired to incorporate the training benefits into her programs. Since then she has become passionate about the sport, furthering her education at every opportunity, coaching, and successfully competing at Levels 1 through 5.
Erica Peet of Peet Equestrian
Working Equitation entered Erica Peet’s life in 2013. She quickly fell in love with how the sport tests all aspects of horsemanship, fosters growth and improvement that rider and horse can achieve at a reasonable pace, and that it encourages fantastic sportsmanship. Erica Peet and her husband love introducing this fantastic sport to people and have put on WE clinics all around the country. Since 2023, Erica Peet has been traveling regularly to Portugal, where she is studying Working Equitation and classical dressage with World Champions.
