MARK RUSSELL, author of  "LESSONS IN LIGHTNESS" will be at WQH for a series of clinics in 2010:  June 5-7 , October 2-4, December 4-6.

His book "Lessons in Lightness" had put Mark in the forefront of classical dressage and other disciplines.  Come and join us for a combination of private and group sessions for riders (english or western) who want to learn how to promote the benefits of suppleness and flexion in the horse in order to achieve lightness to the aids. By using these methods the rider unleashes the horse's true movement without either driving force (the rider's legs) or holding restraints (the rider's hands). When the rider enables the horse to use his energy efficiently, the horse will drive himself forward- once balanced in self-carriage, there will be no resistance in the rein. 

SPACES ARE LIMITED SINCE MARK ONLY TAKES 8 PEOPLE PER CLINIC
