Clinics/Demos/Lessons

[jeni17]

Who have done the best ones you have been to?

Being nosy again!

I've been to lots of different things. I like to go to things on over the winter, its always useful to get hints and tips from other people. My favourites so far have been clinics done by Boyd Excell, the world four in hand driving champion. He is a great driver, but also a brilliant teacher, and so interesting to watch. He can make tiny, tiny adjustments to turnouts and reap huge rewards. But he is in huge demand all over the place teaching so only manages a couple of two day clinics in Scotland every year.

I'm off to see Tim Stockdale at Ingliston next week, with around 20 friends. Will be very interesting to see what he says.

I used to go to lots, not been to any for ages.
Jenny lorinston Clark did an interesting one once think it was at sandy flats, think she had a wee tipple before she started.

I think the best demo i ever went to was Emile Faurie at Gleneagles, a very long time ago.

[boo]

it was good Kath, I was at it too
I also was at a Geoff Billington one years and years ago at Loanhead, was ace so funny
the recent one I went to was Pammy Hutton, very good would go to another one done by her

I don't really get to go to very many but there is one next month with Markus Bauer so I am really excited for that

I have heard Tim is excellent but I am sorry at 40 quid a ticket it was out of my league price wise!!

Our RC trys to hold at least one talk evening, we have had farriers and vets who have been very informative. Our vet also holds an annual talk with guest speakers which are always interesting evenings.
