Big time shenanigans on the West Coast this weekend! William Fox Pitt is at Dragonfire Farm today and tomorrow. Immediately afterward, he heads south to Copper Meadows for two more clinic days there. To say that we’re a bit excited is an understatement. Even though it’s supposed to be a fairly wet weekend in Northern California, it certainly won’t stop the lucky few who have managed to score a spot in the clinic from enjoying this once in a lifetime opportunity. Despite the fact that my mare and I have been in Slacker Mode for a while now (has it been a year already?) I am looking forward to watching and absorbing as much as I can this weekend. Time to go make a thermos of hot chocolate and make sure I have enough space on my iPhone to record everything.
NOTE: The second half of the William Fox-Pitt clinic was previously set to be held at Sweet Oaks Ranch, but has been moved to Copper Meadows. Per the organizers, tickets and ride times will be honored as previously listed.
