WDAA Train The Trainers Clinic W/Cliff Swanson & Frances Carbonnel (Las Vegas)



Train The Trainers™ is coming to Las Vegas!
Western Trainers, Judges,
Riding Instructors, L Graduates,
and amateur riders welcomed!

April 15-16, 2019


UPDATED PROGRAM FOR PROFESSIONAL AND AMATEUR WESTERN DRESSAGE ENTHUSIASTS!
The California Western Dressage Association is hosting its third Train The Trainers™ clinic and seminar in Las Vegas, Nevada, on April 15 & 16, 2019. If you want to learn all about Western Dressage, this is the place to be!

Train the Trainers™ program, originally developed for the Western Dressage Association of America®, is designed to educate professional trainers, judges and Western Dressage enthusiasts who want to learn the standards of Western Dressage and how to train, hold clinics, show and judge this exciting new discipline. A Certificate of Completion will be provided to all clinic graduates. The WDAA lists all TTT graduate trainers who are members of the WDAA on the WDAA website. As professional trainers, you are an integral part of the success of the discipline of Western Dressage.

This two-day workshop is your chance to learn Western Dressage standards from WDAA members Cliff Swanson and Frances Carbonnel, who developed the TTT program. Cliff is currently the WDAA Judges Seminar instructor and a top carded International judge. Frances holds many WDAA World Championships as well as a gold medalist at the Grand Prix level from the United States Dressage Federation. This is a great opportunity to get insights from both a judge’s and a competitor’s perspective!

By participating in a Train the Trainers™ clinic, you will become a part of the foundation of the educational thrust of Western Dressage. If you are not a professional trainer, but would like to attend the Train The Trainers™ clinic, you will receive an Amateur Certificate of Completion.

Here is the initial schedule, subject to adjustments.
