Equistride International Dressage

The Equistride Dressage Retreat was unlike any other clinic my friends and I have ever attended. As auditors, we participated in many aspects of the training over the weekend: exercising with the fitness instructor in the morning, working with Nancy Baker and her Balimo equipment to gain understanding of our personal balance issues, walking out into the arena to closely watch and ask questions of Tonya Barber with the in-hand work, and having an opportunity to ask a myriad of questions of Carole Grant and the rider/horse combinations. It was a wonderful environment for learning and nurturing for everyone involved - we can't wait to come back next year! Karen Bartholomew
