The Bernie Traurig clinic that was held over the weekend at Horse on Course was a huge success as evidenced by the number of people who came out in the cold and damp to soak up words of wisdom. There were 33 riders and many auditors. Bernie is a proponent of the “Forward Riding System” and is also the creator and author of thehttp://www.equestriancoach.com/website. Bernie’s goal when teaching is to simplify riding and to ensure that no one is left out during the clinic; he stated that he wants everyone to leave feeling that they have learned something. 

A heartfelt THANK YOU to Charlene Michael who worked so hard to bring such a World Class clinician back to our area.  here are some photos from the weekend.
