May 10 & 11, Lone Birch Stables, Homer, NY
We were able to get Bucky Sparks from Colorado this year. His style is deeply influenced by classical dressage training, and these techniques
have been adapted to the unique needs of the Walking Horse. Basic dressage methods are used to aid horses to become supple,
athletic animals who are comfortable and a joy to ride, by working for Balance, Looseness, Engagement, Softness and Soundness
(B.L.E.S.S.)
Bucky will work with 8 horses each day, so there's plenty of room for everyone. Auditors will be welcome at a fee.
It is recommended, but not necessary that anyone participating in the clinic purchase the book "B.L.E.S.S. Your Walking
Horse" for $20.00 plus $3.00 for S&H. Bucky feels that participants reading this ahead of time would understand
better what he was talking about during the clinic. You can read more about them and/or obtain the book at www.blessyourhorse.com. NOTE: Buying the book ahead of time is not a guarantee that you will get into the clinic - it
will be on a first come - first served basis when the flyer goes out.
Lone Birch Stables will have some stabling available. There is a nice indoor arena with a viewing booth and
balcony.
The next newsletter will have all the information / costs for the clinic.
