2011 Ride-A-Test with Tina Drake
and
Raswan "Most Harmonious Horse and Rider' Selection
CFD's
December 4,
2010 Ride-A-Test and Clinic with Tina Drake was a great success . We had 11
horse and rider pairs each performing a Dressage test of their choice. After
their ride, our judge turned clinician and the riders received pointers for
making improvements in their test scores. Some riders choose to just clinic
with Tina and use the day as a schooling exercise. A few riders rode two slots
back to back in order to maximize their dressage test and clinic feedback opportunities.
As always, Tina was entertaining, patient, and informative with each riding
pair providing pointers and tools to relax the horse and rider, promote flexibility,
and improve response. All participants indicated Tina helped them tremendously
with their rides.
Riders in this clinic were:
