The mounted sessions each morning, conducted by George H. Morris, the legendary horseman and chef d'équipe of the Olympic Gold-medal show-jumping team in 2009 in Hong Kong, will be held in the grand prix ring on the South Grounds of the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center.
The riders will also participate in lectures and presentations by industry experts. The final schedule will be available December 1 at

Auditing of the mounted and educational sessions is free and open to the public, as are the coffee and doughnuts provided each morning by The Equus Foundation.
