We are now ready to unveil the second step – Discipline Credentialing. We have identified “Hunters and Jumpers” as our first discipline credential. Through this “Journey” you’ll continue to demonstrate to horse owners, trainers, veterinarians and others in the horse industry your personal commitment to your profession!
