The Equestrian Center boasts a range of amenities that attract equestrians from all disciplines to Morven Park’s picturesque 1,000 acres. New for this year, Morven Park International Equestrian Center will introduce STRIDER eWaivers, which enables contactless signing of all liability releases, as part of its commitment to the safety of all visitors.
“Morven Park’s commitment to community and equestrian diversity makes it an ideal partner for STRIDER. We’re delighted to work with them again in 2021 across all their equestrian offerings, “ stated Tara Swersie, CEO of STRIDER.
“We’re excited to kick off this season of equestrian events with Strider,” said Shannon Ferguson, Assistant Manager at the Morven Park International Equestrian Center. “Rider safety and well-being is on everybody’s mind right now due to Covid-19, and eWaivers make sense for our events.”

The 2021 Equestrian activities calendar is set to begin later this month with the Morven Park Spring Horse Trials, which will offer a Preliminary Training division this year for the first time.
