Saturday at Haras Hacienda
On Saturday morning, we’ll board a charter bus to gather at the stunning Haras Hacienda to begin our day with the AHS Annual Meeting, featuring important society updates, committee highlights, and valuable insights from the Hanoverian Verband on Hanoverians around the world. After the meeting, we'll head to the outside arena for an educational session with a very special guest clinician.


Special Educational Symposium with Lilo Fore
"Training and Development Up the Levels – From Training Level to Grand Prix," combines a classical clinic format with a variety of horses and riders geared towards the spectator experience. Learn Lilo's theories on evaluating prospects, show ring expectations at each level, and how conformation and character influence progress. We are currently accepting rider and horse applications.
