From drivi ng to dressage, Irwin students are winning or in the ribbons while mos t often stealing the show with horses proving to be exceptional in tem perament, willingness and performance.\nCritics have raved about the f act that Irwin is not mainstream or just another commercialized copy o f “natural horsemanship.” In fact, Irwin says with, a wink and a g rin, that if his work must be branded then perhaps it should be called “un-natural horsemanship.” Many of his certified trainers endeari ngly refer to what they have learned form Chris as “so far beyond co ntemporary horsemanship that it can only be described as ‘super-natu ral horsemanship’.”\nWhen coaching Chris is dedicated and focused on the concept he sums up as the need for “Training before Schooling .”\nChris and his wife Kathryn own and operate Riversong Ranch Eques trian Centre in Alberta.\n\nToronto CADORA -- The Classical Riding Clu b Since 1969\n\nFor more information visit http://www.barnmice.com/eve nts/the-evolution-of-dressage-the DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20090403T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20090403T220000 CATEGORIES:"special.presentation" LOCATION:Pine Ridge WEBSITE:http://www.torontocadora.com URL:http://www.torontocadora.com CONTACT:For more information, contact Pam Hope at 905.642.2865 ORGANIZER:Toronto CADORA ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg":http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/ file/get/2248641910?profile=original ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Dorothy McDonall":http://www.barnmice.com/profile/DorothyChiotti END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
