A total of 42 applications were received from 14 states, and several riders were nominated by Talent Spotters.
Accepted riders will be invited to participate in one training session with Capt. Mark Phillips, which may be held in conjunction with the High Performance Training List sessions. After the initial training sessions, some exceptional riders may be invited to participate in further training sessions with the High Performance List riders. Riders selected to participate in these training sessions will also become eligible for the Amanda Warrington Fund Grant. This $5,000 Grant will be awarded to a rider recommended by Capt. Phillips and approved by the Amanda Warrington Fund Grant Committee.
The USEF will announce the training session dates and locations in January, once they have been confirmed.
