(NEDA) – In 2012, fifty-seven instructors participated and donated one to three lessons a piece for a total of 176 lessons. Much of the $4,385 proceeds went to the USDF Region 8 Junior/Young Rider Team and other NEDA educational programs. Google “NEDA Flextime” for some great feedback on how the news about this NEDA program has taken off.

For 2013, Flextime has some exciting new additions to the instructor list. We are currently able to offer NEDA members lessons with sixty seven different instructors located throughout New England and New York. We are very fortunate to have such generous instructors who are so kindly donating their time and expertise. I hope Flextime’s success in 2012 will be repeated this year.

The list of flextime instructors and biographies can be found on the NEDA website. Be sure to check out the newly updated instructor biographies. Many of the biographies now include links to the instructors’ websites, enabling potential students to learn more about the instructors before signing up for Flextime lessons. If you are an adult amateur or a JR/YR, don’t miss the chance to sign up. Flextime offers the incredible opportunity to ride with many of the area’s top professionals. Applications for 2013 and more information can be found on the NEDA website and in the January issue of Tip of the Hat.
