We are so excited to have Suzanne Galdun June 6-7!

Clinic Report: Suzanne Galdun 📝

"Suzanne, who turns out to be a wizard, was able to quickly connect the dots between my hip issues and positional weaknesses... As a result of this work, my instructor, Leah, noticed that my tendency to balance and over-position with my left hand had vanished, as I was finally working with my right side more 'on-line.' Sorcery, right? Nope. Somehow, just biomechanics."

First appearing in the North Woods Dressage Association newsletter, "The Accent" (June 2025), this article was a nominee in the 2025 GMO Newsletter Awards for first-person experience articles for GMOs with 75-174 members. 🎖️
