“Living the Dream” with Carol McArdle

DSC_0067

Carol McArdle Clinic held at BPF this weekend was a huge success! This was the first time I have gotten to ride with Carol and was very impressed with her knowledge of Dressage, her training techniques and exercises. We had a variety of riders from campaigning event riders, Halflinger breeders, Andalusian Riders and Trainers, to very basic amatuer riders.  She was fun, motivating, encouraging and very insprising. I especially enjoyed her feed back on my FEI work with Electrizar, she really helped design exercises and pin point where we need to improve for our competition in PSG this season. Then she excited to help me work with our Fiero just starting under saddle getting ready for his first Functionality test this May.   Feedback from our Dressage community aduitors was overwhelming and our waiting list for her next clinic is getting full.

If you would like to come and work with Carol in our next clinic, please contact me at 817-205-9268. You will be thrilled you did. Estimated booking date in June and August.

RIDING WITH THE SPANISH RIDING SCHOOL OF VIENNA IN TEXAS

School Master Herr Harald Bauer, July 2006

It was a priviledge and an honor to ride with such a well schooled riding master. Herr Bauer’s instruction is very “Classical” and in the keeping with Dressage training traditions, together we worked on perfecting our shoulder in, travers, renvers, flying changes and collection.  Each day my horse became lighter in his cadence, his gaits became free, transisitons crisp and my riding position was improved to allow for the FEI work that lay ahead.   His knowledge of the Baroque Horse is incredible and I look forward to his next visit to Texas in January to finish our schooling to prepare for Prix St. George this spring. This is how riding should be taught!
