October 6-7 will be another busy weekend for dressage enthusiasts!
There is a Jan Ebeling clinic at Reinbow Dressage Centre. Debbie Sedlacek's barn is hosting Brad Kutchall this weekend as well!
If you get a chance, try to check out one of these great clinics this weekend. A rider can learn a great deal simply by auditing a clinic. It doesn't matter what sort of horse the participants are riding or at what level, many times simply watching others ride is a good learning experience. You may find yourself inspired by someone's great seat, or feel comforted that someone you admire has struggles in the saddle as well.
In my experience as both a clinic rider, and auditor, a good clinician is always willing to answer pertinent questions from auditors. If you've always wondered about the mechanics behind the half-pass a clinician is a great person to ask. He or she may even have the rider demonstrate the answer for you. Clinics are learning experiences for everyone involved, so when you go, whether it is this weekend or future clinics, be an active auditor!
