WESTERN DRESSAGE & RANCH RIDING
1-DAY CLINIC with Carole Perkins


-- Bring Your Horse for a Fun and Challenging Session --

Whatever your goals with your horse, whether competitive advancement or just controlling your horse safely on the trails as a pleasure rider, Western Dressage and Ranch Riding fundamentals will help get you achieve them. In this 1-day workshop, working in a traditional 60-meter dressage arena, we will focus on Western Dressage in the morning session, and Ranch Riding in the afternoon session, using cones and ground poles in small group exercises, while applying the basic principles of both disciplines.

o Have some fun while learning the techniques of Western Dressage & Ranch Riding.
o Teach your horse how to be more responsive, maneuverable, and safe.
o Learn exercises you can practice back at your home barn to help you compete in Western Dressage, Ranch Riding, and other disciplines.
o Participants may also opt to ride a practice test of choice at the end of the session.

FORMAT: Riders will ride together as a small group, supporting and learning from each other.
