Freestyle clinics are available to small private groups of riders who are purchasing a freestyle designed for them
My COVID Requirements: I have a poor immune system and will be taking maximum precautions.
Housing: I require a hotel room
Transportation: Anyone transporting me to/from the airport and/or clinic must show proof of being fully vaccinated OR I require a rental car.
Food: I will not be eating indoors unless it's in a private room.
Riders: Need to bring their own headset with microphone capabilities to plug into my CeeCoach.
Auditors: May not be within 10 feet of me unless they show proof of being fully vaccinated.
At this time, a lecture will not be available unless it is held outside.
If your group cannot meet these requirements, then I will not schedule a clinic.
Hosting a Freestyle Clinic.
Clinics should schedule 4 to 8 riders.
Rider fees include one or two 50 minute sessions. These are scheduled over 2 days. The first day will be finding music while the second day will be developing choreography.
A 50% deposit on their level of freestyle is required before the clinic plus divided clinic expenses.
The final balance is due once the freestyle has been designed and before it is sent.
A Lecture is available to the riders that covers the Rules and requirements for $300. It takes approximately 2 hours. Lecture material will be emailed to the organizer who can then forward it to all the riders.
My expenses: Flight/travel costs, hotel, food, and possibly insurance fees.
RIDER REQUIREMENTS:
Riders interested in me developing a custom freestyle for them.
I am happy to work with Rider's who are showing at any level in English (Training- Grand Prix) and Western dressage (Intro-Level 5). They can show at Rated, schooling, and/or online shows. For USDF, they can working toward getting their qualifying score.
Rider's should check my "Price List" page for the costs for their level of freestyle before the clinic so they're aware of the additional fees.
NOTE: RIDERS WHO ARE MERELY INTERESTED IN GETTING THEIR HORSES AND/OR RIDERS OUT IN A NON-SHOW SITUATION ARE NOT ALLOWED. THIS IS A WASTE OF MY TIME AND TALENT. THERE ARE PLACES FOR THEM TO DO THAT AND MY FREESTYLE CLINIC IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
PEOPLE INTERESTED IN LEARNING THE "PROCESS" OF DEVELOPING A FREESTYLE ARE WELCOME AS AUDITORS.
Note: I am NOT a trainer.
Since I am a freestyle designer and choreographer, I do not deal with the training of movements of the horse, or the rider. That is something the rider should seek the advise of a skilled trainer. However, I do consider the horse and riders strengths and weaknesses when developing choreography. The riders should be working toward the level of the freestyle, however, they do not need to be completely proficient at that level during the time of the clinic. The rider does need to be able to control the horse safely during the clinic.
HELMETS ARE REQUIRED for all riders regardless of level.
Auditor's are encouraged to participate during the music selection phase of the session.
Rider's are encouraged to watch other rider's sessions.
