Fran O'Reilly Clinic and Combined Test
June 18-19, 2011

We had a great time with Fran for a clinic on Saturday and an eventing derby on Sunday. Although the weather was chilly and wet, it did not dampen our spirits as riders from across the area soaked up Fran's expertise. All levels of horses and riders were present and Fran did a great job with each horse/rider combination helping them to see their potential and giving them valuable exercises to reach that potential.

Sunday brought dressage and cross country. Dressage was held in the large sand arena and the cross country was rider's choice of fences and course. After each test, Fran discussed the results with the rider so they could improve. The cross country was more of a schooling exercise and riders were allowed to pick their own course and school obstacles as many times as necessary. Below are some of the participants:

We had a busy eventing season travelling to several recognized events and derbies.
