Riders interested in participating must send an application to wendyvernon@yahoo.com. If there are more applicants than spots, a blind drawing of all applicants will be made. At that time, a waiting list will be established. Symposium fees will be due on February 8th. If a participant hasn't paid, they will be removed and riders from the waiting list will be invited.
Rider refund policy: If there is a replacement rider available willing to pay the fee, there will be a full refund. If the horse becomes lame or sick, and there is no replacement rider available, there will be a 50% refund if there is a veterinarian's note to verify the horse's inability to participate.
