The Southwest chapter serves members living in the Madison and surrounding region. The chapter hosts 8-10 meetings, several clinic series and 1-2 special events annually, and sponsors a scholarship program for members. Meetings usually include an educational program followed by a business meeting. Among recent educational presentations: rider biomechanics, overview of the USEF Young Horse Dressage Program, equine body scoring, equine massage, braiding demonstration, and a wet lab at the UW Vet School. Nationally known clinicians Janet Foy and Maryal Barnett each teach several weekend clinics from spring through fall, which chapter members may audit at no cost. Among special events of the past several years: a sporthorse evaluation seminar with Gerd Zuther, a schooling day for members to practice tests for a judge and major programs such as the November 2011 Dressage Through the Levels Symposium with Steffen Peters and Janet Foy. Our year traditionally ends with the much-anticipated holiday party, Death by Chocolate. 2012 SW Chapter Officers:
