Lexington, KY (March 30, 2011) - The United States Dressage Federation (USDF) announced the signing of FEI "I" 4* judge and popular trainer Lilo Fore as the clinician for the USDF Adult Clinic Series.   This series will consist of nine clinics over the next two years beginning in the fall of 2011 in Regions 4 and 8.
          Lilo Fore is an FEI "I" Judge and began her judging career in 1974.  In addition to judging, she owns a successful dressage training facility located in Santa Rosa, CA, and helped to develop the USDF Instructor Certification Program.  Lilo's students have gone on to become successful professionals and horses bred by her have earned Grand Champion and Champion awards in breed shows in both the US and Canada.  Throughout her career, Lilo has remained involved in many educational projects including hosting clinics all over the US and South America.
          "Lilo has been so involved with our Instructor Certification program and is so well-respected and liked as an instructor and trainer, she was a perfect fit for the adult clinic series," stated USDF Director of Marketing Linda Schultz.
          Lilo was a featured presenter at the 2010 Adequan/USDF National Symposium and is the ‘voice of instruction' on the newest edition of USDF's On the Levels video, soon to be released.  "Her involvement in the clinics series completes the package.  Lilo will share her knowledge with instructors, judges, amateurs and the sport horse community," stated Kathie Robertson, USDF Education Program Senior Coordinator.
