The 6th Tom Bass Seminar on Diversity in Equestrian Sports has been confirmed for Saturday, October 11, 2025 at the Tryon International Equestrian Center and Resort (Tryon International) in Mill Spring, North Carolina (USA).
The annual gathering examines issues relating to diversity in a) domestic and b) international arenas.
Launched in 2019 as part of the 2nd Annual Day of the African Equestrian (DOTAE), the seminar will take place in a climate of political, commercial and societal disruption highlighted by question over migration, police brutality, reparations, cultural and economic imperialism, wokeness and a widening gap between 'the haves' and 'the have nots' in the United States and other countries.
A distinguished group of international panelists - including social activists, journalists, entrepreneurs, riders, trainers and representatives of the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) - will discuss topics relevant to diversity in equestrian sports.
The Tom Bass Seminar series is presented by The AFRICAN CONNECTIONS Research and Education Fund, Inc. in association with SQI EquestrianSM and the Tryon International Equestrian Center and Resort.
