Leading Dressage and Eventing riders Reese Koffler Stanfield and Cathy Wieschhoff will be available in the morning to answer your questions on why helmets matter. Ann Quattrocchi with Good to Go Medical Cards will be present to answer your questions on the importance of carrying a medical card when you ride. Representatives from USEF, USHJA and CHO will also be in the booth.
