Hand waving frantically in air ... I just got confirmation from the clinic's organizer that I am definitely "in" the Susanne von Dietze clinic this October. In case you don't recognize her name, or if you do but can't quite place her, this might help! 
Dressage Today magazine - October 2013 issue
Yep. That's right. Susanne von Dietze is currently writing "The Clinic" column in Dressage Today. How lucky am I to get to ride with her? And, to make the deal even sweeter, it's a two-day event!
I don't have anything interesting to say right now, of course, but rest assured that there will be a full write up after the fact. If you want more information, like where and when, send me an email, and I'll give you the low down. Seriously excited!

You would be surprised, Sandra. There are many clinicians out there will to work with us lower level riders. Start checking around. I have found that clinics are my absolute favorite part of dressage. They're like going to a show without the drama. You get to go someplace with a group of people, your pony gets to look pretty, you get a great lesson, and you don't get kicked out of the arena 5 minutes later. Money well spent!

I haven't read her book, but I love her supportive comments in DT. My Tehachapi trainer says she is super kind in person. I am really looking forward to it. Comments are closed.
