Wendy Murdoch clinic recap
Great weekend learning and finding ways to change our old patterns on our horses and find new ones. Always a very educational and valuable clinic and now we have lots of new new things to work on!

Super day at the Sopris Equestrian benefit horse show! Always fun to dress up the course and enjoy our horses and show off what we’ve been working on. Thanks to those that hauled in to show and to the 19 horse/rider pairs from our program that came out to play and support our IEA team.
Time to cheer on Sopris Equestrian in the upcoming season 🙌

so many great years showing in Estes! Ready for next week 🔜

I think it’s safe to say Avalon Anslyn has outgrown the short stirrups… lots of new horse/rider combinations this year and some bigger jumps😄

Hello Gang,
Tickets are booked!! Wendy will be here August 15 & 16!!

"Wendy Murdoch is an internationally recognized equestrian instructor and clinician for over 30 years, author of several books and DVDs, and creator of Ride Like A Natural® and the SURE FOOT Equine Stability Program. She is one of the most skillful teachers ever encountered in any equestrian discipline. Wendy’s desire to understand the function of both horse and human, curiosity and love of teaching capitalizes on the most current learning theories in order to show riders how to exceed their own expectations."

This is a wonderful and super fun clinic about position and communication!! Generally how to help us all make ourselves the best riders we can be. Help us retrain our bodies into new balanced positive patterns. There is a brief symposium/movement class in the mornings always full of body awareness and enlightening information, followed by a small group riding lesson. There will be both jumping and non jumping groups. While it might seem expensive - the information she gives PRICELESS!!
Please contact me so I can get you on the list!!
