• April 26th & 27th:  "Ride-Back Clinic" with Susanne Hamilton at Peppergrass Farm
  
  Do you often wonder why your dressage scores aren't higher?
  Are the judges comments like reading a foreign language? 
  
  A "Ride-Back" Clinic is just what you need.  The clinic is scheduled in half-hour increments with the option to purchase one or more sessions either back-to-back or spread out across the day.  You will warm up alone prior to your scheduled time to ride and then enter the arena and ride your test of choice for Susanne, as if at a horse show.  At the completion of your test, Susanne will discuss your test performance, scores and where improvement is needed.  You then receive a mini lesson before re-riding your test. 
  
  The cost is $60 per half-hour session.  CLICK HERE to download and print entry form.  Entries open 4/1/08. 
  
  For more information, contact Debbie Place at Peppergrass Farm.
