CFD Presents
A Riding Clinic with Greta Wrigley - June 04, 2011
-
by Ann Ott-Chartier
What a wonderful riding day!
Five horse and rider combinations came to Plumwood Arena in Altoona
to ride with CFD and Greta Wrigley:
Gaile
Gibson and Amethyst
Ann Chartier and Cassel's Omar
Missy Ascik and Lucky
Katie Freeman and Symphony
Callie Williams and Sparky
Our horse and rider pairs enjoyed an hour lesson with Greta Wrigley. And boy did we work. We all especially enjoyed Greta's analogies for riding, and her relaxed and easy going style made for an educational and enjoyable lesson. Greta is an excellent and knowledgeable dressage instructor, and it was a real pleasure riding with her.
Another great aspect of this clinic was the location at Laura Causey's Plumwood Arena. There is nothing like bountiful shade on a hot summer day.

The footing was stellar and Laura even ordered a nice breeze for us. Laura's farm is next to the Ocala forest and is surrounded by beautiful trees and a peaceful atmosphere that boarders on a zen experience.
Riders and spectators enjoyed a picnic lunch under Laura's covered stadium, ride side seating.
During lunch, CFD held a drawing from all our riders in the clinic. The door prize was a choice of halters. Rider Callie Williams won our drawing. Congratulations Callie!
Special thanks to Laura Causey for hosting our clinic. If you want to learn more about Plumwood Arabians, her guest houses, and her farm, visit her site www.plumwoodarabians.com

My personal thanks to Laura for letting me ride her stallion, Omar, in the clinic. That was a treat for me and a real pleasure. Thank you!
Thanks to the CFD volunteer Susan Croft who helped setup the clinic and manned our registration table.
Thanks to our auditors and supporters who came out to watch. And a special thanks to Greta Wrigley for being our clinician for the day! We had a great time and we enjoyed having you with us! Come back again soon!
