        <title>A Clinic with Dominique Barbier</title>
        <link>http://www.hoofpicks.com/events/event.php?eid=167</link>
        <description>Location: Farmington, CT; Entry Fee: $300.00; Duration: 3 days; Description: The three day format of the clinics has a particular progression: day one is to learn about the horse, day two is to learn how to be with the horse, day three is to dance with the horse. Each of the three days is divided into two sessions in the morning Dominique works with each of the horses, up to eight of them, individually longing and working them in hand before riding them. In the afternoon, the student works with the horse, longing, work in hand and riding.

The longing and work in hand are the cornerstones of the program. The longing technique is different: the longe line is run through the bit ring and attached to the girth on the same side. Only one side rein is used, adjusted so that the horse is going on the bit and in balance. The horse discovers for himself the on the bit balance. Dominque sends the horse really forward at the click of the tongue, backed up with a crack of the longe whip in case the point was missed. From the very start the idea of the rider being #1 and the horse #2 is established. For horses that thought they could run the show, meeting Dominique comes as a surprise. When they realize they do not have to be in charge and can go back to being the horse, they relax.

Work in hand follows longing. It is done in four track shoulder-in position with angle and head height appropriate to the horse. Its goal is the suppling of the shoulders and hips. And also continues the #1 vs #2 positioning as the rider may walk into the horse's space but not the reverse. Horses stiff under saddle are shown to be stiff in hand as well. The work in hand explains the shoulder-in concept to the horse, without the rider's interference.

The Longing/Work in Hand is central to the training process as it allows the horse to learn about being on the bit without rider interference, and it begins each session's work. Beyond the obvious training value, it changes the nature of the horse/rider relationship. It is more intimate and permits the rider to truly see the horse, how he moves, where he is stiff, how he is that day. Dominique rides every horse that comes to his clinics and with this basis he knows what he will find when he mounts. Watching horses and riders over the three days you can see them developing balance and confidence faster than one would think possible. From the 3 yr old Thoroughbred at his first clinics to the quarter horse switching from western pleasure to the combined training and dressage horses, the changes are real, and the technique is straightforward enough to be taken home without worry.

Watching Dominique ride is an education in lightness. He uses his own saddle when he rides, and it works with all the horses. He carries two whips. The horse is to be on the bit from the first stride and walking forward from his loosened back, not legs. The same click used in longing is used under saddle and means the same thing, forward now. A tap of the whip reminds, if needed. Pushing legs are not allowed; it is the horse's job to go forward, the rider to provide direction through visualization, knowing what he wants and staying focused. Shoulder-in and haunches-in are key movements for all the horses. He asks the horse to stay light and in balance. And he works with the horse as he finds him that day, no matter what the level

Dominique does not talk as he rides, he is busy listening to the horse. In between rides, anyone is free to ask any question. He does not lecture but rather conveys a desire to have the students listen to their horses and really feel the horse beneath them. His is not an easily defined formula of aids. It is rather a way of being with the horse that presupposes respect and communication, balance and trust. The student will be told to put little fingers on the saddle and keep them there to prevent floating hands that are unsteady, and to shorten the rein and keep the horse on the bit. As there is no pushing, so is there no pulling. The upper body should be back and the back loose. By the third day the flow is amazing as both horse and rider realize how little it takes to dance smoothly together.</description>

        <title>Horsemanship Day Camp for Beginners</title>
        <link>http://www.hoofpicks.com/events/event.php?eid=1214</link>
        <description>Location: Bozeman, MT; Entry Fee: $350.00; Duration: 6 days; Description: Baker Creek Stables &amp; Summit Horsemanship
Summer Horsemanship Day Camp for Beginner Riders

	This is an introductory camp for horse crazy kids who want to learn all about horses.  They will learn how to feed, halter, lead, groom, saddle, clean stalls, and ride horses all in a safe and fun environment.  Children will work together in teams and with their instructors to challenge and improve their horsemanship skills.  They will have mounted and unmounted lessons daily, along with lunchtime activities that will improve their equine knowledge.
	Registration is limited, so that we may focus on safety and quality of instruction.  Your child will be matched with a âbuddyâ and a horse for the week, and the students together will be responsible for that horseâs feeding, stall cleaning, grooming, saddling, and other care.  Your child may choose to ride English or Western for the week, but must stick with one discipline for the week and may not switch back and forth.
	Safety is stressed at all times at Baker Creek Stables.  All riders are required to wear boots with at least a Â¼â heel and an ASTM/SEI certified equestrian helmet while mounted.  Helmets are available for student use.  Amy Morgan is an ARICP Level II Certified Riding Instructor and will be giving the mounted lessons, while Jana Bailey, a veterinary technician and accomplished horsewoman will be giving the unmounted lessons.  Both instructors have many years of experience in equine management.
	Bottled water will be provided during the day, however, participants will be responsible for bringing their own sack lunch and snacks Monday through Friday.  A small refrigerator is available, but no microwave.  For Family Day on Friday, pizza and sodas will be provided, please RSVP so we may provide enough.
	Camp is scheduled from 8:30a.m to 3:30p.m. daily.  We do stress punctuality, as the program is scheduled without much down time.  Children must be picked up promptly at 3:30p.m each day, as we are not a day care service.  We will charge $60/hr ($15/15 minutes) for children not picked up at 3:30p.m.  Parents are welcome to visit the barn during Monday morningâs orientation and for the Family Day on Friday, but may not audit the camp.  After the camp, private lessons are available, and parents are welcome to audit their childrenâs private lessons.

All juniors will need to bring an adult sponsor to ride with them. This ride will be made up of a combination of trails and roads throughout the âVermont hillsâ. 

If you have any questions about how to condition your horse for a 15 mile ride, please feel free to contact the ride manager for conditioning guidelines.
If you have questions about the rules for Competitive Trail Riding you may refer to the handbook - go to www.ECTRA.org

Junior riders must be 17 yrs and under as of Jan. 1, 2006 and must be accompanied by an adult rider.  Riders will be briefed prior to the ride on trail markings, starting order, exact length of ride and difficult trail sections. 

* All Riders must wear an approved riding helmet

* A red ribbon must be worn in the tail of a known kicker. 

* A yellow ribbon must be worn in the tail of a stallion.

* Due to local terrain, protective hoof gear is recommended on all four feet of all horses

        <title>Mad River Riding &amp; Driving Homecoming Horse Show</title>
        <link>http://www.hoofpicks.com/events/event.php?eid=1332</link>
        <description>Location: Waitsfield, VT; Entry Fee: $7.00; Duration: 1 day; Description: The MRRDC Homecoming show is a FUN horse show with an emphasis on friendly, safe competition. Classes are open to all disciplines and judged on control, safety and enjoyment as well as compliance. Show clothes are NOT mandatory, helmets and hard soled, heeled boots are. Neatness and safety are main concerns.  

Please enter each class according to your age division - several of the classes have the same number but the system wouldn't allow me to put 4A, 4B, 4C, etc...so please check your age carefully.

Limited food will be available for sale at the show. We will have breakfast items and coffee/hot chocolate but we suggest you bring a picnic or tailgate.

The ring is roughly 100X200 with tape fencing. Warm up area is available, partial tape fencing.

Riders in Leadline may not cross enter into any other classes except the Costume Class. No cross entering between cross rails and low fences.  Likewise, no cross entering between walk trot and walk trot canter, except for the bareback classes...a walk trot canter rider may do the walk trot bareback class.

6 ribbons and prizes in each class. Championships awarded in all age divisions for WT, WTC &amp; Gymkhana.

        <title>Mad River Riding &amp; Driving Homecoming Horse Show</title>
        <link>http://www.hoofpicks.com/events/event.php?eid=1367</link>
        <description>Location: Waitsfield, VT; Entry Fee: $7.00; Duration: 1 day; Description: The MRRDC Homecoming show is a FUN horse show with an emphasis on friendly, safe competition. Classes are open to all disciplines and judged on control, safety and enjoyment as well as compliance. Show clothes are NOT mandatory, helmets and hard soled, heeled boots are. Neatness and safety are main concerns.  

Please enter each class according to your age division - several of the classes have the same number but the system wouldn't allow me to put 4A, 4B, 4C, etc...so please check your age carefully. We will accept entries right up until the class goes in the ring.

Limited food will be available for sale at the show. We will have breakfast items and coffee/hot chocolate and some lunch items but we suggest you bring a picnic or tailgate.

The ring is roughly 100X200 with tape fencing. Warm up area is available, partial tape fencing.

Riders in Leadline may not cross enter into any other classes except the Costume Class. No cross entering between cross rails and low fences.  Likewise, no cross entering between walk trot and walk trot canter, except for the bareback classes...a walk trot canter rider may do the walk trot bareback class.

6 ribbons and prizes in each class. Championships awarded in all age divisions for WT, WTC &amp; Gymkhana.
