Get In Your Entries Now For the USHJA Zone 4 Free Clinic

 

 

 Wellington, FL -  - Spaces are still available during the Floridian Community Bank USHJA Zone 4 Free Clinic for riders looking to participate in this year's event. The free clinic, open to all USHJA Zone 4 members, takes place on February 25, 2013, at the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center. Zone 4 is pleased to have Cynthia Hankins serving as this year's clinician.

 

Hankins, a Pennsylvania native, comes to the clinic with an extensive riding and showing resume. She was the fifth place finisher at the ASPCA Alfred B. Maclay Finals at the age of 12, and has only progressed from there. Throughout her junior career, she achieved many prestigious awards including the USEF Hunter Seat Medal and being named Best Child Rider at the Pennsylvania National Horse Show.

 

"Though she is a disciple of mine, no two people teach the same," George Morris stated. "Cynthia is a top rider and an excellent teacher. She is very old school and classically trained."

 

Following her junior career, Hankins moved to Paris, France, to compete across Europe. Hankins has been an "R" judge for over 30 years, judging all of the major equitation finals and hunter classes at the Winter Equestrian Festival. In 2012, she was a clinician for the USHJA's Emerging Athletes Program, and produced the praised DVD, "A Day at the Finals."

 

"I'd like to have the focus on a re-emphasis of lines and tracks," Hankins remarked. "It is important to have a realization of the fundamentals of riding."

 

The Floridian Community Bank USHJA Zone 4 Free clinic will be broken down into four groups: a group at 2'6", two groups at 3", and a final group at 3'6".

 

"This is one of the better clinics this season to have the opportunity to get involved with," said Chris Gilman, Floridian Community Bank, Palm Beach County Advisory Board member and volunteer for the clinic.

 

Rider openings for the clinic are still available to USHJA Zone 4 riders only by contacting Chris Gilman at dudeville@bellsouth.net. Auditors and spectators are also encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity and to come out and watch at no charge. Stabling will be

available upon request, for a mere $30 fee.
