Wellington, FL – The inaugural College Preparatory Invitational Horse Show (CPI) will be held January 14-15, 2011, at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center (PBIEC) located in Wellington, FL.
Katherine Bellissimo, one of the founding partners of Wellington Equestrian Partners, explains that events such as the CPI offer a definite path to college for young equestrians. “The FTI Winter Equestrian Festival is proud
to host the inaugural College Preparatory Invitational Horse Show to encourage the connection of young equestrians to their bright, horse-filled futures in higher education,” Bellissimo said.
The CPI’s mission is to prepare and educate students about the format of collegiate equestrian competition, to encourage academic horsemanship, and to provide riders with the resources to create their desired future equestrian experience. The Invitational is intended to introduce young equestrians from grades 6-12 to the college-format competition as well as highlight participating colleges and universities. With $40 million available just in the last year for equestrian scholarships, the opportunity for education supported by equestrian sport is available.
