Lendon Gray, Founder of Dressage4Kids, is Keynote Speaker at Weekend Equestrian Program
The 15th Annual Dressage4Kids Weekend Equestrian Program at Nonnewaug High School in Woodbury, CT. is on January 28 & 29, 2017.
This is a great opportunity for horse lovers, young and old, to spend a winter weekend learning from leading experts in a variety of areas connected to horses – from horse care and health management, to training and fitness for horse and rider, with expert information for all riding levels and disciplines. Among others, are presentations on bio security for barns, alternative therapies, and preparation for shows or eventing competitions, and several activities – such as a Pilates class, Centered Riding basics on foot, and a vaulting demonstration – something for all ages and interests!
This year a Business Seminar is also available to barn owners and other equestrian professionals. Conducted by Atty. Elizabeth Clarke of the Equine Business Institute, it will provide updates and discussion on many important areas involved with running a successful business, and is expressly geared to the equine industry.
