NSBA Foundation’s 2025 Coaches Summit

The National Snaffle Bit Association Foundation will host its 2025 Coaches Summit February 24–26 at Equest Therapeutic Horsemanship in Dallas, Texas. Registration to attend this year’s event is open through January 27.

The three-day workshop is open to equine industry professionals, therapeutic riding center coaches, staff, volunteers, and anyone interested in exploring opportunities for the engagement and expansion of riding programs for equestrians with disabilities. The program features instruction from post-secondary educators, therapeutic riding instructors, as well as equine industry professionals. Instruction concentrates on the value and inclusion of competition for Equestrians With Disabilities and veterans using horses as a form of therapeutic riding.

Additional subjects in the three-day curriculum include defining goals and developing next steps; exploring the value that the sport brings to therapeutic riding programs, their staff, the people they serve; the benefits of relationships between professional horse training operations and therapeutic riding centers; exploring different fundraising and funding structures; and overcoming barriers preventing programs from having a network on a national scale.

Registration includes two nights lodging, meals, local transportation, and educational materials. To learn more about the Coaches Summit or to register for the 2025 workshop, please visit www.nsba.com/special-projects.
