The Area 1 Young Rider Symposium is held in the spring and is a 1-day, 4-session symposium. The day focuses on riding after high school and career opportunities in the morning with panels of Special Guests. In the afternoon there are two rotating workshop sessions on different topics each year. This is a great opportunity for current high school students looking on how to stay involved with the riding after college and/or those looking for some unmounted education.
Sign-ups will be available in 2026.
