while under saddle. This session would be appropriate for walk/trot participants.

obstacles while under saddle.

home, and/or placed red or blue at the fair. Participants in this session will work on completing a pattern which
requires more difficult forward, lateral, and backing movements through and around obstacles while under
saddle.
Trail in-hand —young horses and/or inexperienced handlers who need to develop confidence and skills
working through and around obstacles on the ground. Participants who have never worked through obstacles
with their animal should start in this session and not under saddle. The focus is to develop more confidence
and skills to improve forward, lateral, and backing movements FROM THE GROUND.

The purpose of this clinic is to help riders improve their dressage riding skills. Each rider will “Ride A Test” for the level of
test they will compete in. The horse and rider will ride the test and be judged by Dee. She will discuss the test results with
each rider, answer questions, and work on a few items. The rider will receive the score sheet with comments.
About the Clinician: A Wisconsin native, Dee Packard earned a BS in Equestrian Science at William Woods College in
Missouri. She spent the next 23 years in Colorado training, teaching and managing. She has worked with several breeds
in several disciplines including hunters, jumpers and reining horses. Her passion is dressage. In 2014 she completed the
requirements for the USDF Silver medal having earned the USDF Bronze in 2010. Her philosophy is helping riders
develop confidence and harmony with their horses and uses the classical principles of dressage to achieve this goal.
Sessions are limited to 2 riders per session and will be combined by the Dressage Test level they wish to perform at
the clinic. Unlimited auditors per session.
This is a pre-registration clinic. Bring your 2016 Original Coggins and also a copy that will be kept for our records.
Please have appropriate tack (hunt or dressage) and wear appropriate attire (breeches, long boots and appropriate fitting
tops) for evaluation of equitation.
If you need to cancel from the clinic you must contact the clinic coordinator at least 48 hours prior to the start of
the clinic. You must also have a verbal or email confirmation from the clinic coordinator.
This schedule is tentative and will be adjusted based on the number of participants wanting to ride each level.
