The next Henk van Bergen Clinic is November 2-3, 2011! Mary will be riding Sir Wimbledon (1st level, working 2nd) and Dancing on Air (FEI level) We hope to get lots of updated video footage and pictures for the website!

We have actually participated in 2 additional clinics (February 19-20, and May 23-24, 2011) which I forgot to add to this site. Henk is the only outside help I have in the training process with Sir Wimbledon, and his insight is very valuable to me as a trainer! I am pleased to report that "Wimbley" is on the correct path and progressing very well for his age and experience! He is an absolute pleasure to train!

Henk van Bergen Clinic October 30-31, 2010
I missed the July clinic because I was out of town. I was also riding a new training horse owned by Edie Bradshaw. It was the first time I had ridden him off the property; it was the first time he had been ridden in an arena of any kind, and this was a covered arena. And he is three years old.
He was awesome!
Edie also got to ride her new schoolmaster, Dancing on Air, in the clinic and did a very good job. Below are some pictures of Edie and Dance, as well as of me on Sir Wimbledon, the three year old Thoroughbred gelding.
Enjoy!
For information on future clinics, or information on taking lessons at IRIDE, contact Mary.

Austin and I had a great time at the clinic, and look forward to riding with Henk on a regular basis. Thanks so much to Delante Dressage and Luis "Lou" Denizard for hosting the clinic, inviting us to participate, and being such a great host!
