I am very lucky to be riding in this clinic with a beautiful young thoroughbred off the tracks owned by the Elite Equine Group. I think it will be a great lesson to improve the quality of contact and throughness - especially interesting with a horse who was racing. And, of course, especially interesting with the classical expert of contact and flexions : the Colonel Carde.

Here are all the info about the clinic which starts this Sunday.

Christian Carde is renown globally for his "old world " principles and techniques regarding correct classical training for competition dressage horses. He is an expert at in hand and long reining but most noted for his ground work in piaffe and passage. His academic education from Gen. Alexis Francois L'Hotte and Gen. Albert Decarpentary are among his greatest directives. But he cites Nuno Oliveria and Willi Schutheis (both whom he trained with) as the two most influential horsemen in his life. Come see this true equestrian artistic master at work and train your eye towards " the classical way ".
