Clinics...

In February Central PA trainer and judge Julie Ely came to the facility to share her knowledge to improve the team and give another perspective.

In April, famed Olympian, Trainer and Clinician Michael O. Page traveled all the wayfrom New York to teach us a clinic. His knowledge and skill provided our riders with new insight on how to improve and reach their potential. Professors, friends and family of riders attended this event and were greatly impressed by the clinic and our team. We all enjoyed a catered lunch and hope to make this an annual event.
