Auditors are welcome!!!

Next stop Canada! I'm really excited for my second trip to teach at Lauren Phelan-Rivard 's next month.
And extra excited to be going to 3 new places! If you happen to live near one of these wonderful folks who are organizing and hosting, they each still have at least 1 rider spot open and several auditor spaces.

Check out the pinned post on my personal page for dates for each clinic and contact the organizer if you want to attend.

I'm really grateful for my growing circle of connections to these type of horse folk that are my people: curious, open minded, thoughtful, horse welfare and well being prioritizing people. If you are feeling lost or disconnected in your horsemanship journey because you want the best for your horses while also being able to train them, ride and even compete, please reach out to me and be a part of the change that is underway.

We had an incredible weekend… Thank you so much Jennifer Derksen, The Rider Mechanic!!

We are so excited to announce that Alexis Martin-Vegue will be coming to Bellrock Stables June 25th, 26th, and 27th,! This comprehensive clinic will include a dismounted theory lesson on June 25th, then mounted or ground work lessons June 26th and 27th.

A Little Bit about Alexis:

Alexis MV is a classical dressage rider and coach who is well educated in both the French and German methodologies of traditional riding. She utilizes the principles of both, along with R+ (clicker training) to create a blended approach of science based, biomechanically sound, ethical training of the horse for any discipline. Having studied extensively with world renowned author and coach, Mary Wanless, Alexis offers riders detailed insight on how to correctly use their position to ride with balance and feel, as well as preserve their own ‘soundness’.

Alexis’ resume is impressive!!! She is a USDF bronze, silver, and gold medalist in self trained horses. A USDF silver freestyle, bar and freestyle competitor at nearly every level, a USDF dressage judge and has multiple USDF Horse of the year top 20 placings!

Pm if you are interested in group theory, auditor, dismounted or a rider spot! They will go quick!!!

Sulley is looking forward to the weekend!

A quick note about the clinic this weekend.

If you are coming to audit and have not reserved your spot, please reach out to confirm which day(s) you are coming.

We will have a light breakfast and lunch available as well as coffee, tea and water for auditors to drink. Auditors need to bring their own mug if they plan to have warm drinks.

Bring a chair, as well as a blanket (in case it is cold); we do have a heated viewing room as well for everyone to warm up in.

If you are entering the arena during someone’s ride, please do so as quietly as possible.

Rides will start at nine and go until approximately 4 o’clock.

There is a large parking lot behind the sand, please do NOT park your vehicle on the grass.

Please do not bring dogs, we have dogs and cats of our own, some of which are more reactive than others.
