Patrick Tigchelaar clinic a success!!


Fun and learning was had by all! It may have been a little warm but hey, it's July in NC! Patrick was a hit with riders and auditors alike for his down to earth, classic but demanding approach. He taught several beginners as well as several upper level horse and rider combinations with equal enthusiasm and knowledge. Boghi learned (again) that he must concentrate on his work whether he has an audience or not! Will learned changes on a circle (!!!!!)and had some pretty nice working pirouettes. Wendy Taylor was back at LKN Dressage with Wulff and looked awesome schooling PSG. Ritter and Mary Kim polished their use of the double bridle and tried out some changes. Keri and Barb rode in the very first clinic ever and both want to ride again!! Now that is a testimonial to Patrick if there ever was one! Two clinic newbies want more, lol! Fortunately for them, Patrick will most likely be back in late August with riding spots almost gone already. Check back for exact dates and contact Elaine if you are interested in riding.
We are working on posting some video clip highlights so check back often!
