News & Reading
Simplicity, but attention paid to details, reigned supreme in a clinic with world #1 Tom McEwen, which took place at Galway Downs in Southern California. Tom’s philosophy that riders need to have the ability to think on their feet and a continual reinforcement of the basics encouraged the riders who participated to step out of their comfort zones (safely, of course). When you think about it, most clinics are, essentially, a fine-tuning of basic foundation, with a dash of personal philosophy thrown in for good measure. Tom’s approach was fascinating to read about, and you can do the same here. Bonus for Tom, Galway Downs is the proposed host site of the equestrian sports at the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028. 👀
Consistency is key when it comes to consistent results. Delilah’s Boy, the 2024 USEA Pony of the Year, and his 13-year-old rider, Kendal Fansler, know a thing or two about this notion. “Sammy” has been a professor for his young rider, and her relationship with him has created some lifelong memories of success and places traveled to. ❤️ Read their story.
