Winter Homework clinic and show series

February 7, 2026

Jennifer Mitchell, PT, is the current Lead (rider) Physio for the Olympic disciplines of US Equestrian Federation and an equestrian herself, who has competed in multiple disciplines over her career.

Her rider biomechanics clinics consist of 60 minute one on one sessions focused on identifying points of rider weakness and/or imbalance in the saddle that affect the horse’s performance. Sessions follow a format of ridden assessment, followed by table assessment and treatment, before re-mounting for post-treatment assessment and additional mounted corrective exercises. A home exercise program to continue the work started during the clinic will be designed for you.

While you’re getting your table assessment and treatment, you have the option for your horse to get a sports massage from equine bodyworker Morgan Tobin of Approach Point LLC so that you’re both feeling fabulous when you get back on! This is OPTIONAL but a great option!

If you can’t get your horse here, lesson horses may be available to borrow for the rider biomechanics portion for a fee pending availability and suitability. If you would need to borrow a horse, please reach out to confirm availability.

Our clinic in December with Lori was a hit and she’s enthusiastic about coming back, so we added another date!

Lori is an “S” dressage judge and earned her USDF Gold Silver and Bronze medals on horses that she trained herself. She continues to compete and train and teach despite her busy judging schedule, loves teaching all levels of horses and riders (yes, even the lower levels!), and is both an absolutely phenomenal trainer and one of the nicest and most positive and encouraging people in the industry.

$115 for a 45 minute lesson

$80 for a 30 minute ride-critique-ride

$15 truck in fee for outside horses

No matter the discipline you ride, the training you build on in the saddle starts on the ground. Groundwork also often lends itself better to working around cold slippery New England winter conditions than riding, allowing you to keep working on skills new and old all winter, just from a different angle.

Let FEI dressage trainer Cyndy West show you how to use groundwork to level up any horse’s program, from babies to upper level competitors in any discipline.

Want a progress check on a test you’re preparing? New to showing in dressage and want to understand how your tests are scored and how you should feel about different scores? (Hint: a 70 on your dressage test is NOT like a 70 on your math test!) Or not so new but want to understand your score sheet better?

Do either or both when we drag Heidi Hauri-Gill (L-FL) back to her old stomping ground up here in the frozen north for a talk walking us through how tests are scored and what scores mean, followed by ride-review-ride sessions starting with the riders who are okay with serving as demo riders for the attendees from the talk. (If you don’t want to have an audience that’s okay too; those rides will go at the end of the day)

This clinic was a big hit last year, so we’re bringing it back!

New to showing? Horse new to showing?Need to knock the dust off after a long cold winter? Join us for a low-key schooling show to ease yourself in. Do some jumper rounds, some dressage tests, or a combined test, and stick around to play some mounted party games afterward.

Dress code is clinic casual.

Leadline and up, with no age limit on leadline riders! (So absolutely go ahead and enter your non-horsey spouse or parent in the leadline division.)

Judge: Christina Keim (L-NH)

Stay tuned!
