Esprit Equestrian Center has hosted five ATA mare and foal inspections and two stallion inspection to date.

We were honored to have Henry Schurink from Vermont in 1998 and Rhea Gibble from Virginia in 2000 as the inspectors for a mare and foal inspection.

In 2003 Brad Kerbs from Missouri inspected the mares and the team of Brad Kerbs, Henry Schurink, Rhea Gibble and Terry Williams inspected the stallions.

In 2005 we enjoyed having Terry Williams from New York as the inspector for a mare and foal inspection.
