We recently hosted a two-day clinic with Michelle Bergeron, owner/trainer/instructor at RightLead Equestrian Center in Baton Rouge, LA. Michelle worked to help riders and horses relax in their flatwork as they prepared for gymnastic work over fences designed to will help them ride more correctly in their stadium jumping rounds. On the second day, everyone took to the cross country course for more practice on the flatwork principles that they learned on day one.
All of the participants worked hard and there was dramatic improvement with their ability to balance and lightly control their horses. What a fantastic two days! WE can’t wait to have Michelle back again before the end of the year.
