This comprehensive clinic focuses on the skills needed to ride successfully both in and outside the ring. Ann Hanscom has an extensive background in both dressage and cross country riding and is very patient when working with green horses. Her relaxed manner puts even the most timid riders at ease and allows them to progress with their horse from riding in the ring to jumping in the open. The divisions offered are: Introductory (for horses/riders who have never jumped in the open) Elementary (for those with limited cross country experience) and Novice (for those seeking to improve their skills). Classes are limited to four riders each, so sign up early. Ride times will be announced after the closing date.

Entry fee: $50.00

Note:  An additional clinic may be added in July if the desire is expressed.
