Are you able to tell your horse’s pace (meters per minute) just by feel?
Are you able to adjust your pace up or down, and return to your level’s required meters per minute?
Do you know the meters per minute for your level?
This clinic will help you learn how to properly measure a XC course, determine your meters per minute for your level, how to establish your meters per minute for YOUR horse based on THEIR stride, adjust your pace, practice it at home, and more!
Riding will take place in a fenced-in field. Riders should be comfortable trotting/cantering at their appropriate level. This is NOT a gallop or how-to gallop clinic.
Please wear your XC watch, or any other stopwatch with which you are comfortable using whilst mounted.
