Dressage Niagara Presents

A CLINIC WITH METTE ROSENCRANTZ – INTERNATIONAL DRESSAGE RIDER & COACH
Now based in southern California, Mette Rosencrantz was twice a member of the Swedish National Dressage Team. She was the youngest rider ever allowed to enter Strömsholm, Sweden’s prestigious school for instructors, and eventually became its head dressage instructor in 1980.
Mette has shown at the Grand Prix Level on several horses and won the Open Grand Prix at the World Cup in 2007 on Basquewille. Her goal is to ride in the 2012 London Olympics.
Mette’s teaching skills are highly sought-after and she has riders and horses in training at all levels. She believes that establishing a good foundation is essential to creating the best riders and that there are no quick fixes. She tries to discover the reason problems are occurring, and treats the cause rather than just the symptom to leave each participant with long-term goals to work towards.

Calling all show riders!

As you will have heard, the Niagara Regional Exhibition will be the site for all four Dressage Niagara Bronze/Silver Shows this year. Since the Fairgrounds – including the bleachers – can be a little overwhelming at first glance, Dressage Niagara is pleased to announce a Practice Schooling Session at the Fairgrounds on Saturday, May 15, 2010 from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.

It’s a great opportunity for you and your horse to become familiar with the show grounds and school without the pressures of a show. Or simply come and ride away from your home turf.

Location: Niagara Regional Exhibition, 1100 Niagara St, Welland
There is lots of room for trailer parking.

Cost: Free for Dressage Niagara members, $10 for non-members

Required: Proof of OEF Membership and a current Negative Coggins test

Register: By end of day Wednesday, May 12

To Register: email dressageniagara@live.ca.

Please note: all riders must check-in and receive a schooling number before mounting their horses at the Fairgrounds. Remember to bring a photocopy of your OEF membership and your Negative Coggins test.

Your Board of Directors

Dressage NIagara Presents:

Learn to Ride A Freestyle Clinic
with Margie Feduck
Classroom Session - Sunday, April 11 (1:30 – 4:30 pm)
4783 2nd Concession Rd, Port Colborne




Have you ever wanted to dance with your horse? Prepare a musical Freestyle but don’t know where to start? Margie Feduck, music instructor & dressage rider, has the answers!
Margie began riding in South Africa then moved to New Zealand to train with Harry Boldt, for many years the German Olympic coach. She also trained with Richard Weiss in the Alexander technique and has worked with Pat Parelli. Margie has created many musical rides and quadrilles with up to 60 horses.
Format of the clinic: Margie will discuss styles of music, how to match the beat of the music to your horse, how this will change as the horse moves up the levels, and how to incorporate a metronome into the music selection. She has a video library of musical rides and will have a selection of demonstration rides to view.
Cost: $35 for Dressage Niagara members, $45 non-members
To Register: email dressageniagara@live.ca

NOTE: Optional 2nd Session for Riders at a Later Date (additional cost)
