Obstacle Clinic with Donna Lewis

Pony Clubbers and Horsemasters enjoyed an excellent obstacle clinic with Donna Lewis yesterday.

We began by working on some basic dressage moves: turning on the forehand, backing and side-passing along the arena fence.  These movements prepared us for tackling our obstacles successfully. We opened the mailbox (I'll leave it outside the arena for practice), side-passed over a ground pole, opened and closed the gate to the pasture and we all got through the "cowboy curtain."

I will schedule another clinic this fall with a fun obstacle challenge competition.  If you are interested in joining us, let me know and practice moving your horse...the link below demonstrates a turn on the haunches, turn on the forehand and teaching a horse to side-pass.
