Barnby Notes sponsors the newly launched Emerging Dressage Athletes Program.  Founded by Lendon Gray, Olympic veteran, founder of Dressage4Kids and an educational partner at Barnby Notes, this program is designed to "find, help and educate talented youth to become the international riders and trainers of the future." Joining Lendon in running this program are Olympians Courtney King-Dye and Robert Dover.  The EDAP is modeled after the successful U.S. Hunter Jumper Association's Emerging Athlete Program.

The Founder of Barnby Notes, Allison Brunelli, offers all participants a complimentary online notebook and one financial comittment to one of the top selected riders who applies to write in one of our public notebooks.  Allison also makes herself available to speak at the event if the agenda can accommodate a presentation on how to effectively use a training notebook.  Allison spoke at Lendon's Weekend Educational Program in January 2011 and is speaking at the USDF Convention in December 2011.

"I will always seek to support advanced educational programs especially those led by Lendon Gray,"  Allison says.  "Most, if not nearly all, advanced learning systems from traditional school systems to premier dressage training barns make writing or note-taking a part of their learning and I am honored that Lendon would allow me the opportunity to support the riders of the EDAP."
