The Ultimate Eventing Experience is series of 3 weekend training sessions with Clark Montgomery designed to further your horsemanship knowledge and enhance your riding ability. Intended for riders and horses competing at the novice level and above the three 2½ day sessions will focus on ways to be a more successful competitor while having fun, keeping your horse healthy, and being safe. Clark believes the foundation for successful riding rests on effective communication between rider and horse. The Ultimate Eventing Experience will strengthen your riding foundation and broaden your knowledge and skills beyond the normal clinic format. Participants will learn a complete program for successful eventing through a combination of riding, video review and group discussion. Each session will begin on Friday afternoon and conclude on Sunday by 4pm. Between weekend sessions you will have homework assignments to practice what you have learned and prepare for the next session. You will have access to Clark for advice and questions about any problems you are having. |
