We are excited to be working on another clinic with Andrea Waldo at Hidden Meadow Farm this year!
Andrea's new book is slated to arrive in September and new material is being added to her program.
Whether you're struggling with fear or you are plagued with perfectionism this clinic is designed for you.
There is a 3 hour unmounted session before any riding is done.
*Flatwork is always private.
*Groups of 2-4 riders for ground poles and up.
If we have enough interest, we will do BOTH Saturday and Sunday. Otherwise it will be Sunday only.

About Andrea:
Andrea Monsarrat Waldo is a former psychotherapist and is a riding instructor certified in 2008 by the United States Eventing Association. She is co-owner of Triple Combination Farm in Ferrisburgh, Vermont, training horses and riders of all ages and abilities in the sports of eventing and dressage. Andrea has competed through the advanced level in eventing, has shown through third level in dressage, and has brought along several horses from the very beginning of their training. She now does StressLess Riding Performance Coaching in workshops and individual sessions with equestrians at all levels of horse sports. She remains dedicated to constant development in both her riding and psychological training by seeking out regular riding instruction and staying abreast of current literature in equestrian theory, psychology, and neuroscience. She is the author of “Brain Training For Riders,” available by Trafalgar Square Books.

About the Farm:
Our farm is situated on 55 acres in upstate New York, about 5 minutes off exit 10 from I-87. We have a long stone driveway that wraps around our indoor arena for easy traveling.
Our arenas are sand based and maintained regularly.

About the Clinic:
This clinic is intended to be an all day event, not just “show up for your time.” We begin our day on Saturday with a 3 hour workshop based on Andrea’s book “Brain Training for Riders.” New this year will feature content related to Andrea's upcoming release "The Imperfect Ride."
Sunday will be riding only. Option to ride in our pasture over easy terrain and small starter level jumps (VERY weather dependent) on Sunday only.
Privates may be available but first come first served and reserved for flat sessions. Although our farm is mixed discipline and we welcome ALL disciplines, in order to simplify we will base levels off eventing. Groundpoles, X Rails, Starter (2'3"), Beginner Novice (2'7"), Novice (2'11"), Training (3'3") etc.
