Dale Irwin Anyone?

Dale Irwin has confirmed that he is available to come to Hillside in March and/or April if I can garner the interest!

I have ridden with him before, as has Lindsey. He is patient, willing/able to deal with horses of various training levels and breeds, AND he is skilled at teaching both dressage and jumping! He usually comes up in the spring to teach for the eventing club, but apparently this year they are not holding their Easter clinic.

He would likely fly up Friday, and fly home Sunday, so some lessons could be taught Friday late afternoon and early evening, all day Saturday, and Sunday morning/early afternoon. Students could take dressage lessons, jumping, or one of each! Dressage lessons can be private or semi private. Jumping lessons can be semi-private or group, with the bigger classes being longer in duration. Riders could ride all three days, two days, or just one. Rates will depend on interest...as you can imagine, getting a trainer of this caliber in, as well as paying for flights, food and lodgings, isn't cheap, but my hope is we can get enough interest to make the cost reasonable.

Possible dates: March 1-3, March 8-12, April 5-7 and/or April 12,14.

The clinic will be available to ALL Hillside clients, and also to haul ins if interested, although I cannot promise any overnight stabling.

Please check out his bio and let me know if you would be interested in attending, and which dates would/wouldn't work for you.
