His training stable, Champagne Wishes Farm, has produced multiple Medal winners at the NAYRC (North American Young Riders Championships), successful Advanced level students, as well as multiple Adult Amateurs who completed their first CCI*. Paul has developed Pony Clubbers from “D” through “A”. More information about Paul and Champagne Wishes Farm can be found at Champagnewishesfarm.com.
Our first clinic of this series of three was held on Jan 8th and was a great success. The second clinic will be held Jan 29th and Jan 30th and the third will be held on Feb 12th. We had a waiting list for the first clinic and already have a waiting list for the Jan 29th clinic so you might want to reserve your spot early for future clinics!
This second clinic will focus on:
1. Adjustability and balance of the trot and canter
2. The dynamics of the horses jumping motion (Bascule) in relation to different types fences and distances
3. Correct use of aids and riders position to influence horses stride
4. An obedient, happy and confident horse
The clinic will combine the use of ground poles, cavaletti, grids and single fences and combinations, as well as curved lines. Lessons will last one hour for groups of three riders, starting from Green horses and going up through the Eventing levels.
Paul will also offer a “Dressage Over Poles” group for those non-jumping riders looking for something different for mid-winter training. This lesson will focus on rhythm, power and articulation of joints, in all three gaits.
Riders are encouraged to form their own groups (horses should be close to the same level). Priority will be given to riders that sign up as groups, however every effort will be made to place single riders in appropriate groups. Please include any information that you deem helpful in our effort to form fun and compatible groups.
Cost is $65 per horse. Auditors are welcome to watch for no charge.
