Cavaletti and Gymnastics Clinic I at Morven Park
With Paul Ebersole
On January 16, 2012
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.
The series of three clinics to be held at Morven will work on developing the following:
1. A powerful and balanced trot and canter
2. A round and straight jump, with correct use of the horse’s body and legs
3. A balanced, effective, and harmonious rider position
4. An obedient, happy and confident horse
The first clinic will combine the use of ground poles, cavaletti, grids and single fences. Lessons will last one hour for groups of three riders, starting from Green horses and going up through the Eventing levels. The next two clinics will be Jan 28th and Feb 18th.
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) in order to make the clinic a fun and lively day! 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 $70 per horse which includes Morven’s ring fee. Auditors are welcome to watch at no charge.
To enter, please Email Pat Palmer at ppalmerwheatland@aol.com with rider’s name, horse’s name, horse/rider experience and telephone number.
Or if you have questions, please call Paul at 703-431-4580
