Willow Ridge - Sport & Performance Horses

Willow Ridge - Sport & Performance Horses Balance & Harmony through Biomechanics. Welcome to Willow Ridge; a place where the care and comfort of the horse is first and foremost.
(1)

Where you'll find a small group of like-minded adult riders who have become supportive friends and family. Where riders of any breed of horse, discipline, or ability are welcome and encouraged. Where you can study and immerse in the principles of classical dressage, biomechanics and horsemanship. Where we work first for the preservation, enhancement, and improved soundness of the equine mind and b

ody and where care is customized to the individual. We strive for a holistic approach to development; one that balances training with nutrition, husbandry, correctly fitting tack, and mental and emotional health. Where competition is encouraged but never demanded, and that success in the show ring is trumped only by the successful cultivation of a deeper connection with our equine partners. We currently have a group of riders ranging from novice to 4th Level. Established in 2012, Willow Ridge is located on 23 picturesque acres near Hudsonville, MI. Here you will find a truly private retreat – close to town but worlds away. Willow Ridge is owned and operated by Brian & USDF Bronze Medalist Kimberly Dunlap

MAY 24 & 25, 2025 • PRESENTED BY KIMBERLY DUNLAP COACHING & EQUISONIC PRODUCTIONS

Back by popular demand! Brittany and Kimberly team up to bring this fun and educational clinic opportunity to Michigan’s English & Western Dressage riders. Over the course of two days, riders and auditors learn what it takes to succeed at the musical freestyle, plan your best choreography, and select the right music for your horse. This fun and confidence-building clinic is appropriate for riders who are new to the freestyle, or experienced riders looking to deepen their knowledge and add some polish to their riding.

First-time participants leave the clinic with a working draft of freestyle choreography for the level of their choice, and musical selections for each gait. Music production is offered post-clinic at an additional, discounted fee.

Repeat attendees can choose to refine their existing freestyle, adjust it to compete at a higher level, or start from scratch to create something totally new. Our workshop-based approach offers tons of flexibility.

Due to the individual attention given to each horse and rider, we are limited to 6 ridden sessions each day!

Sign up now; space is limited! We’ve had a lot of interest, we expect this to fill very quickly.

FREESTYLE CLINIC DAY 1
Day one was group classroom lecture and testing out individual choreography options/mounted instruction. Tomorrow will be a floor plan/choreography design workshop in the morning and then testing music individually in the afternoon.

Almost all of the riders left with a rough draft of their choreography today, we’ll be able to tweak most of that in the workshop in the morning. 🙏
