The final cycle prepares students to organize, adapt, direct, and energize the basic training and technical development of riders and horses during the sports technicalization stage in disciplines such as jumping, dressage, and eventing. It also enables them to organize, accompany, and supervise athletes and participants in events, competitions, and activities specific to this level.
Students will manage the necessary material resources and coordinate the work of technicians under their responsibility. They will organize sports initiation level activities and competitions, design routes and circuits suitable for their level, and specify, direct, and adapt equestrian activities for riders with disabilities. Additionally, they will collaborate in the process of detecting and selecting sports talent (rider-horse pairs), all in accordance with the guidelines established in the reference program and maintaining an optimal level of quality to ensure the satisfaction of athletes and users involved.
