Morven Park Presents:
Cavaletti and Gymnastics Clinic III
With Paul Ebersole
On Feburary 12 and 13, 2011
Paul Ebersole is a certified Level III USEA instructor and CCI*** level event rider. Over the last 15 years he has evented through the Advanced level and trained both horses and riders from Beginner Novice through Advanced. 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.
This third and final clinic will focus on:
1. Increasing straightness and impulsion of the trot and canter
2. Riding forward to your “spot”
3. Correct use of aids and riders position in bending and straight lines
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.
The Feb 12th clinic is almost full, but Feb 13th is quite open. Paul will be doing a cross country clinic in late February or early March as well.
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.
To enter, please Email Pat Palmer at ppalmerwheatland@aol.com with rider name, horse name, horse height, horse/rider experience, and telephone number.
Or if you have questions, please call Paul at 703-431-4580
