Event Date: Friday, May 01, 2009
The Ottawa Area Dressage Group (O.A.D.G.) proudly presents a Dressage clinic with Steffen Peters – May 1, 2 and 3, 2009, at the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (R.C.M.P.) Musical Ride Arena, Ottawa, Ont.
Steffen Peters is an accomplished international dressage rider. Steffen narrowly missed winning the individual bronze medal for the U.S. at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. In 2007, he placed 3rd overall at the World Cup in Las Vegas. He won team silver at the 2006 World Equestrian Games in Aachen, Germany, where he finished 6th overall.
The clinic consists of an evening classroom session on May 1; and riding sessions May 2 and 3. The clinic will progress from lower to upper level horses. Steffen will focus on the ultimate goal of dressage: developing the horse’s self-carriage with light seat, leg and rein aids. Steffen will have a microphone so auditors, as well as riders will benefit from his teaching. Questions will be encouraged at the end of each ride and during the lecture. Auditing hours may be accredited for 6 hours of coaching certification. This is a unique opportunity to learn from a renowned dressage trainer and international competitor.
All are welcome to attend as auditors. The weekend package rate, which includes lunch on Saturday and Sunday, is $100. Pre-registration deadline is April 24, 2009.
