This early season clinic format is designed to help riders get the season started right whether you’re at a new level, on a new horse or need a positive, guided first outing for the year. The dressage will follow a standard Fix-a-Test format of riding a test of choice, having some time with the judge to fix some errors, polish some movements, or generally improve the quality of work. Then riders will finish with re-riding that same test for another score. The jumping portion will extend this idea to cross country jumping. Riders will jump a short course of jumps utilizing part of the WinGreen facility at an appropriate level which will be scored with notes for style and effectiveness. Then the rider will have time to work with the clinician to practice what went wrong, work on a difficult type of jump, stretch themselves for a challenge or step back and fill in holes. Finally, riders will have a chance to re-ride the same short course for another score with notes. Riders will have two score sheets with comments to take home from each type of session.
