"Go Beyond the Basics with Lateral Work & Flying Changes"

The Principles of Western Dressage are:

Relaxation
Connection

Impulsion
Straightness
Collection

"This is all you need to know about the principles of Western Dressage. "

"Do not make Western Dressage more technical than it needs to be! If we make training too technical, we will frustrate the rider and the horse."

The main objectives of this clinic are:

Lateral movements

Haunches-in
Haunches-out
Shoulders-in
Leg-yields
Half-passes
Troubleshooting

Canter work

Lead departures
Flying changes
Canter half-passes
Counter canter
Stride adjustment
Troubleshooting

What does a Western Dressage Clinic include?

Introduction to Lateral movements concepts, principles, and terms. (1 hour group riders meeting)
Introduction to Canter work (1 hour group riders meeting)
Semi-private individual one-on-one lessons (30 minutes)
Group lesson, making practical application to the concepts learned earlier in the day. (3 hours)
Troubleshooting

I don't consider a clinic successful until each rider has a firm understanding of the concepts of lateral work, canter work, and we improved something with their horse. Regardless of how good we think our horses are, we still do not have a "Perfect Horse". Every horse can improve something and that is what I will do! "Guaranteed"
