6 weeks to go till my jumping clinic at the Cross Country Equestrian Association. This will be Friday, July 18th, the day before our Northern Exposure Training CCE.
The clinic will be featuring the following: Gymnastic exercises that will knock your socks off, designed to sharpen and enhance the athletic ability of horse AND rider. Getting your body where it needs to be, when it needs to be there!
Plus coursework in both stadium and cross country, tackling the elusive subject of the rider’s eye, openly discussing what it is, and how to achieve it to obtain greater confidence, accuracy, and consistency in jumping. What are the prerequisites, and how to tap into your horse’s instincts to achieve true partnership. In addition, how to jump related distances like a pro.
Open to members of the CCE, Eventing, Show Jumping, and Fox Hunting community, or anyone else who simply enjoys jumping their horse.

If you, like me, appreciate the unique nobility of the thoroughbred horse, please give it a read. Let me know what you think. I'm so excited for my upcoming meetings with Emerald Downs race track to plot a course for the future and make a difference. And yes, we will be looking to build an army of volunteers, It's a worthy cause!
