What's Happening at Team Symphony
I recently had the pleasure of traveling to both Gilroy and Bakersfield over the same weekend for riding and yoga ball clinics. All I can say is What a weekend, and thank goodness for Starbucks! On Friday evening, my daughter Morgan and I drove 300 miles from Moorpark to Gilroy, California. I spent Saturday with some lovely ladies, first working on the yoga ball, and then moving on to under saddle work. The ladies in Gilroy were attentive and enthusiastic. I always enjoy working with different breeds, and Donna's OTTB and Stacy's saddlebred didn't disappoint. Many thanks to Lehanne and Donna for arranging the Gilroy clinic, and additional thanks to the rest of the riders and yoga ball participants. I would be delighted to come back for more yoga ball and clinic fun! After finishing up on Saturday afternoon, Morgan and I made a quick detour to the Ariat store at the Gilroy Premium Outlets. From there, we headed the 225 miles back down the valley, arriving in Bakersfield at nearly 10:00 p.m. Lessons in Bakersfield were to begin at 7:00 a.m. Even after stopping at Starbucks and dropping Morgan off to check on her pony, Louie, I still made it right on time for Sunday's marathon of a day! The Bakersfield clinic was actually a series of lessons that took place at four different barns! Throughout the day, I worked with 10 riders and their 13 horses. It was so wonderful to see dressage thriving in the mid-state! To my Bakersfield ladies, thank you so much for having me; I look forward to future clinics.
If you or your CDS Chapter are interested in a yoga ball or riding clinic, including western dressage, please contact me here. I'd love to meet you and your horse!
