The American Riding Instructors Association's National Riding Instructors Convention will be held in Naples, Florida on December 2-5, 2007. The Naples Grande Resort, overlooking the Gulf of Mexico and the white sand beaches of Naples, has been selected as the ideal place for busy instructors and stable managers to relax and refresh minds, bodies, and spirits, while offering unparalleled opportunities for professional growth.
The Convention is open to all riding instructors as well as those who want to learn more about the profession. For the first time, the Convention has been expanded to give targeted information to stable owners and managers as well as riding instructors. Attendees will find a friendly, positive and professional atmosphere and a group of dedicated, helpful staff. More than twenty speakers from around the world will cover topics of interest rarely found at horse industry conventions.
The Convention is devoted to education, networking and one-on-one consultations. Speakers will cover a wide range of topics designed to help you make your horse business a success. A full schedule, including topics and speakers, can be found at www.riding-instructor.com
Pony Club and 4-H leaders may register at half price - only $162.50 for the entire convention, which includes both the Welcoming Reception and Awards Luncheon.
Press passes will be issued free of charge upon request.
A limited number of vendor tables are still available for companies whose target audience includes riding instructors, stable owners and stable managers.
