2005 Clinics & Events Calendar

Driven Dressage Seminar and Clinic
May 28- 29, October 22- 23, 2005

Clinician:  J. Aston Moore, Osierlea, California

Jeff is a founding member of the United States Dressage Federation, “I” ridden dressage judge and committee member for development of ridden tests and USDF rules. Jeff drove horses during his time in Holland and is currently a board member for the Dutch horse registry. Through over 40 plus years of training, teaching and judging Jeff has focused on proper movement of the horse accomplished through the use of strong training basics.

Clinic Focus and Format: The clinic will consist of 2 days. The goal will be to provide a current assessment of the horse and give the driver suggestions for improvement. The lecture and exercises apply to both riding and driving. This will be an “auditor” friendly clinic with handouts and time for questions with Jeff. Lessons will be held in a driven dressage court (40x80 meters). Drivers will have the option to format their own lesson. Options include driving a dressage test and critique, learn how to properly drive a test, or spend your time working with Jeff on your particular needs.

Saturday Morning – Registration 8:00 – 8:30 , Lecture 8:30 – 9:30

Lessons start 9:45. Each person will have 45 minutes to work with Jeff. The lesson will be videoed.

Lunch time 12:00 – 1:00

Saturday Afternoon – continue lessons

Sunday – individual lessons (video upon request)

Note: Assessment of proper horse movement and techniques used for training apply for driving and riding. Riders are welcome to audit.  Jeff is well known for his expertise with ground training techniques.
