The Classical Dressage Clinic


Over the weekend of June 23-24th, I attended a classical dressage clinic hosted by Cheri and Baker with the schooling expert, Will Faeber.  Sarah kindly made my horses beautiful and Kelsey agreed to ride Renny.  On the day of the event, the place was filled with people, a big giant speaker for a sound system, a video camera, and lots of noise.  My horses chose to behave beautifully.  Violet was willing elegant sweet.  She didn't really understand how to lean into the bit and stretch along her top line, but she tried and she was sweet and obliging.  Renny was awesome and wonderful.  He could stretch his back, be light and soft, and he was one of the few horses of the entire weekend who was permitted to canter!  I was super proud!
