The University of Findlay is proud to present an English Riding Clinic to further educate interested young riders. The clinic will offer the same techniques taught in the University's English Equestrian Studies Program. The University’s program equestrian instructors will supply the instruction. Instruction will include fundamentals of equitation, beginner/intermediate/advanced jumping techniques, principles of dressage and stable management skills. Each student will work with his or her own horse under the personal supervision of the equestrian staff. Lectures and demonstrations will be given daily to enhance students' skills. Along with individual and class instruction and videotaping, there will be video analysis, recreational activities and access to facilities at The University of Findlay (including the indoor swimming pool and ice-skating rink). The clinics will be offered in June and applications are processed on a first come, first served basis. Enrollment is limited to 30 students and fills quickly. Upon acceptance, a confirmation letter will be sent with further details. A limited number of school owned horses are available for lease during camp.
