Anyone have any idea if this clinic is full for next weekend? I am trying to find out if I can still get into the BN/N group.

Am excited as forty hells - maybe heavens! - that they're both coming back to Georgia in two weeks!!!! Was SO "helped" by Andrew with my green OTTB two weeks ago, loved watching all of Ralph's lessons (green with envy, of course)...You're all so lucky to have Ralph and Andrew so near, so accessible. I've NEVER had dressage lessons where my horse and me were happy when the lessons ended AND I am able to reproduce the learning at home...NEVER!!!! Have bunches of fun!

For any of you not able to get into the Rocking Horse clinic, here's the info for Georgia:

Is the clinic in Ga full?

I used to ride with both of them when I rode for area3 YR many years ago. I think they are great to work with no matter what level you are riding!

How can I find out more info on there clinics?

I listed the contact info in an earlier post - I think about 4-5 up from this one. I'd hurry though cause these clinics fill fast. If you come, you may want to take advantage of Triple Creek being so close by...Mary Bess is a super teacher.

A bit late but does anyone know if they allow auditors for the clinic?
I checked the website and it doesn't mention it.

yes, auditors allowed

I highly recommend volunteering to be part of the jump crew...Ralph explains so much during an exercise, why the exercise is being used for a particular horse or rider or both, what the exercise is expected to do, and then why it did/didn't work...and why the next exercise will...

I'm looking forward to next weekend up here in GA for just those reasons. Rasta oughta be fit to jump in December and learning from the ground in the meantime will help.

So will my lessons with Andrew!!!! Y'all have fun!!!!!

I just have to say what an amazing weekend this was!!!! I am so fortunate I got the opportunity to work with both Ralph and Andrew....I came away with so much! Ralph is absolutely incredible!!!! He is so in tune to the horses, and so incredibly passionate about our sport, it is so refreshing to see!!!!
And, my lesson with Andrew was by far one of the best dressage lessons I have ever had!!!!

This is great news. Wonder how much Ralph is travelling these days? A friend who has hosted some clinics (Nick Larkin, Kathleen Zins, etc.) called last week and ask who I would like for her to try to schedule. My 1st choice was Ralph.

Is the Rockinghorse email add. who to ctc. for scheduling?
