Clinics

Over the past year and a half I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of amazing coaches that have helped me to improve both myself and my horse.

I have had the chance to take lessons from Olympian Ian Roberts as well as his son Waylon Roberts on a few occasions over the years. I also was fortunate enough to have a lesson from Jessica Phoenix who was the only Canadian rider to complete all phases during the 2012 Olympics. My most memorable experience was with Lucinda Green who flew over from England to teach in Canada for the weekend. Lucinda won the Badminton horse trials a record six times on six different horses from 1973-1978.  I hope to have another lesson with her when she returns again in the summer.

All of these opportunities as well as on going training with my coach have helped me to improve my riding and obtain my goals.
