Green Country Dressage of ODS

Program Description: This two and a half day overnight camp is a multi-lesson style format that benefits the young rider. Riders will experience 3 instructors in lessons both on and off the horse. This program will be held over a weekend with horse and riders arriving on Friday night and staying through Sunday afternoon. The program will include ground and riding instruction in fundamentals of dressage and will include some cross training in jumping. The two days will be filled with riding and classroom instruction from quality riding instructors and guest speakers (veterinarian, saddle fitter, farrier). Riding will include both dressage and jumping instruction which will focus on development of the young rider's seat and connection.The final activity on Sunday will involve the camper choosing a dressage test to ride, with the dressage instructor/judge reviewing it with them afterwards. This will enable the young riders to enhance their comprehension of what is expected when riding an actual dressage test.
