CDCTA Winter Clinic/Lecture Series

    - The first one is over, but there are still two more clinics to get you ready for spring showing!

    - March 21st - Stadium Jumping Clinic with Sally Hinkle at Mystic Valley Hunt Club.  Come polish your skills and get your horse out for a stadium brush up!  Get your horse back into competition form and get out of your boring winter  routine.

    - April 25 - Cross Country Clinic with Ann Bowie at Horse Power Farm.  Come join us to get outside, get over the spring jitters and sharpen your cross country skills to get ready for the early competitions.

2010 Calendar is coming together.  The Board sat down and has pulled together the various events being planned and they are now posted on the website.  Please be sure to check out the calendar and save the date(s)!  The Winter Clinic/Lecture Series is back for 2010 - don't forget that some of these are lectures designed for auditors.  If you are like some of us the horses are furry in the field and getting a (perhaps) well deserved winter break - so come join us to get a jump start on spring.

 

ERNIE HAS A NEW RIDER!  Please check out the Ernie Page for more information about Ernie's new rider.
