The response to our Adult Dressage Horsemanship week was so
fantastic that I have happily agreed to do another one!
The date’s will be from the 6th of September to the 10th
of September. No, I can’t guarantee that there will not be snow
this time, but USUALLY the fall here is my favorite time of the
year.
After polling the last group of riders, I guess I should not make
many changes to the format. We thought of cutting out the evening
dinner and education but the entire consensus was NOOOOO! The
evenings were great fun for me too, and gave our riders time to get
to know one another as well as learn, enjoy friends, and eat great
FOOD!
So there you have it. We will follow the same basic format. If you
have any ideas or requests to what ELSE you would like to have
incorporated into your day, please let me know early so I can try to
accommodate!
Lessons-
You will enjoy one daily lesson that is focused on your own
individual goals. Whatever your goals are, we can help you attain
them. Whether it’s basic riding skills, preparing for a dressage
test, riding outdoors, learning to count your flying changes,
preparing to move up a level for the show season, or making a
freestyle, we can help.
Videos-
We will video as many of the lessons as possible, and review them in
the evenings. You will receive a video of your rides.
Position Analysis-
All participants will receive a half hour position analysis from
Ruth on her Equicizer Rocky. You will receive a video of your
analysis. Every single person who has ever had a lesson on Rocky
has had major revelations about their own position and contact.

Educational Programs and Evening Entertainment-
We will have educational programs in the evening with question and
answer sessions, training videos, and videos of inspirational world
class dressage competitors. Classical dressage theories and other
topics will be discussed.
Mini Clinics and Help Sessions- Everyone enjoys the mini
clinics about topics such as braiding, clipping, bandaging,
grooming, heath care and whatever else you want to learn about. Give
us your input and we will try to add new topics to the list.
Food-
Just ask anyone who has ever been to Adult Horsemanship week. It
does not get any better. Each evening wine and hors d’oeuvres will
be served while talking about the day. Dinner is never better
between the cooking of the Moultons, Poulsens, and Hogans. If you
don't come for the riding, come for the food!
We are accepting applications from the first 12 people! The school
horse slots are already full so you must be able to bring a horse to
apply now.
