Join us for a clinic with championship hunter competitor and trainer Louise Serio!

In addition to Serio's countless years of success as a competitive hunter rider, including winning the $100,000 WCHR Peter Wetherill Palm Beach Hunter Spectacular in Wellington, Serio has dedicated much of her career to giving back. She has served on the board of directors for the USHJA, USEF and American Hunter Jumper Foundation, and is a USHJA certified trainer. Serio co-founded the USHJA's World Championship Hunter Rider (WCHR) in 1992, a program dedicated to celebrating and supporting junior, amateur and professional hunter riders across the country. Since the program's inception, she has won the WCHR Professional Rider Championship twice.
