GRAHAM WINN CLINIC

WP Eventing was delighted to host Graham Winn for the day on Sunday 13 May 2012.  The focus of the trip was the TID riders, Kelly Searle and Jessica Foster, but other riders were able to participate, provided they were competing at Ev100 or higher.  Graham also agreed to take a group of our Pony Riders, although they are only Ev90, as they leave for their Championships in six weeks.

As always, Graham ran a fantastic clinic!  He is clear, knowledgeable and so well respected by all eventers.  There were specific flatwork exercises for event horses to make them more supple and athletic.  Jumping lines that challenged riders to allow their horses to think for themselves and travel forward on a rhythm… shortening and lengthening gymnastics that got our riders thinking, as much as their horses!  And the spectators could see everything and hear everything!  The weather played ball until the final session, where our Ev100 Juniors narrowly missed the downpour that followed!

Sincere thanks to the following people who made this clinic possible:

Graham and Michelle Winn, Constantia Valley Riding Club – especially Lexi Chait, Warren Seton and the CVRC Ground Staff, Kim and Jason Wallace – for fetching Graham from the airport and helping Kelly Searle transport her horse, all the riders who participated, Merri Spratley and finally, Priscilla Young – NTC Development officer for Eventing – who made sure this clinic happened!  Many thanks and gratitude to this ‘behind the scenes’ group!  The next one is in the planning stages!
