Not-So-Speedy Dressage
From Endurance to Dressage
Even though it seems directed at kids, I perused the description in hopes that the advanced course would allow 45-year old women to participate. Why is it that there are no camps for adults? I would go in a heart beat. I am sharing this camp because it is fairly local, and the facility is simply gorgeous. The schooling show that Izzy and I did last month was held here. Even though it was only a schooling show, Marily ran it as professionally as any USDF show can be run, maybe even better. I am certain that her camp will be run just as well. I know the image is hard to read, but here's the gist of it. Greetings from Sequoia Hills Stables ~ For more information, contact Marily at 559-564-2038.

I would LOVE to go to horse camp, and there definitely should be one for the chronologically experienced rider. There are adult dressage camps! At least in Indiana - I just went to one at the end of April. 3 days of lessons - two private lessons a day plus a lunge lesson on a school master - a talk on one night given by a veterinarian and one night by a equine nutritionist, plus a group dinner. I thoroughly enjoyed it! 5/23/2016 06:34:27 pm
My GMO, the California Dressage Society, does offer a Friday - Sunday Adult Amateur clinic but you have to be selected. I went one year, but you can't go two consecutive years. I was selected again this year, but Speedy came down with tendonitis so I had to cancel. My GMO is so huge that everyone would want to go if they held a real camp. :0) There are adult horse camps. There's an adult dressage camp this coming weekend which looks pretty cool. Lots of dressage, yoga, and other sessions. It's at three barns connected by trails so you get out a bit in between lessons. I can't go, but it sounds really cool: http://jecballou.com/event-registration/?ee=227 5/25/2016 11:31:30 am
That looks like so much fun. I see it is their first annual event - I hope they are successful enough to host it every year! I would totally pay for that!!!! 5/25/2016 11:33:59 am

I began endurance riding in 1996 where I ultimately completed five, one-day 100 mile races, the 200-mile Death Valley Encounter, and numerous other 50, 65, and 75 mile races. I began showing dressage in 2010. Welcome to my dressage journey. About Speedy GSpeedy went from endurance horse to dressage horse.
