ASSC VIRTUAL MASTERCLASS SERIES
Bringing knowledge and experience to the Australian side saddle community.
Australia has a passionate side saddle community, but being geographically distant from many established side saddle communities can mean limited access to resources, hands-on learning with experienced practitioners and different perspectives.
The ASSC Virtual Masterclass Series brings together knowledgeable guest speakers from around the globe, sharing their experience in judging, competing, riding, saddlery, coaching, history and more.
Learn how side saddle is approached in different countries and disciplines, discover new ideas, and gain perspectives that can help grow our own side saddle community.
EACH 1-HOUR MASTERCLASS INCLUDES
* Guest Speaker & Featured Topic
Our guest chooses a topic based on their knowledge, experience or area of expertise.
* Q&A Session
An opportunity to ask questions and engage directly with our guest.
