The rider application deadline is 15 April and submitted via email to Sheli King, [email protected] Applications will be invoiced for 50% of the symposium fees, plus a $25 processing fee. Refunds, less the processing fee, will be made to those riders not selected and the processing fee can be applied to one day of auditing.

VADA will be accepting only 35 in-person auditors. The fee is $25 a day for VADA members and Non--VADA members is $40 which includes snacks, lunch, drinks, and all unmounted activities.  The symposium will be lived streamed and available for viewing at no cost to VADA members and $10 Non-VADA members.

In-Person Auditor and Virtual Participation Registration Applications will be posted in the upcoming week.  

Need VADA Volunteer Hours? We are ISO a few volunteers to assist with the VADA Symposium (Stave Mill Farm, Esmont, VA, June 26 & 27). We are seeking one person to receive and track auditor applications, as well as a volunteer each day at the clinic to assist with checking in auditors and aiding with other activities as needed, including possibly picking up lunches within a 30-minute radius of the clinic.
