We love a good clinic opportunity, and we’re very fortunate to have plenty of chances to learn from top professionals in our sport here in the U.S. I find it really interesting; I feel within the eventing community there are often more opportunities to clinic with Olympic riders than it seems there are in other disciplines. I’m happy to be corrected — and I know every discipline has its own community that loves to learn — but it’s one of the things I love the most about our sport.
Sappy intro aside, here’s another cool clinic alert coming up in Aiken, SC: the CannaHorse Legends Series, which will feature clinics with British Olympian William Fox-Pitt as well as Canadian Olympic show jumper Jay Hayes. The Legends Series will take place March 5, 6, and 7 at The Vista in Aiken, SC, just after the Grand-Prix Eventing at Bruce’s Field.
More info on this clinic, which will also host opportunities in Lexington and Dallas later this year:
William will be conducting both jumping and cross country clinics. Sunday will feature a morning of show jumping for eventers and an afternoon of cross country. Monday will be exclusively cross country at varying levels, while Tuesday will be focused on jumping.
Jay will be teaching groups of riders divided by height throughout each day in both the all weather and Derby jumping rings.
Each group will consist of 5 riders for a duration of 1 hour. Space to warm up prior to each session will be available for both jumping and cross country phases.
The full clinic includes an auditing spot for a friend, a welcome gift bag, lunch each day, and a Q&A cocktail session on Monday evening.
The individual clinic includes an auditing spot for a friend, lunch, and access to cocktail tickets.
Auditing is available and 50% of the fee will be donated to a local equine charity.
Limited stabling is available on site, one home is available for rent. Please email [email protected] for help with accommodations for horses and riders.
