Lamaze was the only rider to finish the competition clear...

FEI Junior Dressage Training Camp a Huge Success!!

The intensity of any Training Camp experience was accentuated for the Riders by the size of the group and because this week long “clinic” brought  Eastern, Western and Central riders together at York Equestrian Centre, just east of  Newmarket, Ontario. All twelve Juniors have expressed appreciation for the unique opportunities Training Camp offered;  new learning, intensive riding, and new friends from across the country who share their intense love of dressage and their competitive goals.  Rebecca Elming  (16 years of age) of Ontario may have said it best; “ we all work alone at home and we’re always the youngest riders at this level.  Here we are becoming friends and we have a chance to learn with, and from, others our own age struggling with the same riding challenges.” More about the Training Camp...
