Kildare Mini Clinic Series

We are so excited to be offering a Clinic Series for our Clients and other local riders.

All students at any level are encouraged to attend! All of our clinicians are good with riders from different levels, so these will be a great opportunity in a low stress environment to test out some clinics! All clinics will have only groups of 3 and will run for 1 hour.

The Dates are as Follows:

Clinic #1 Jan. 22nd Tim Grosse

Having ridden most of his life, Tim has digested tips from riders such as George Morris and Ian Miller over the years. He earned a spot on the Young Riders Jumping Team in 1983 and after a short hiatus began riding stallions at the European Stallion Warmblood Zentrum INC in London, Ontario. Tim has successfully competed from the Low to Open jumpers on the 'A' Circuit. Tim’s focus is on the horse/rider combination, and any issues they may be having. In correcting these issues he works to improve the rider/horse performance. He has learned over the years that you cannot ride every horse the same way, each has its own way of going and getting the best out of each horse is the goal. He teaches the riders effective techniques in achieving their own personal goals on their horse. Both beginner and advanced riders can benefit from his insightful approach to riding and winning.

Clinic #2 February 25th Beth Murray

For clinic two we will turn our attention to equitation and way of going. Are you looking to improve straightness, build a better canter, develop rhythm or balance? Beth will be the clinician for you! She comes to us with a wealth of knowledge, having grown up on the back of a horse. Beth has been riding, showing and coaching young riders for many years. Beth has set her focus on dressage and coached many riders through the levels and obtained her judges card.

Clinic #3 March 26th Erin Amos
