Robert Dover, U.S. Dressage Technical Advisor/Chef d’Equipe, will work with athletes and their personal trainer/coach to provide training and strategic guidance for athletes to aid in achieving their international potential and success in the sessions planned by the U.S. Equestrian Federation’s High Performance Committee.
