On Saturday Patrick and I attended the Michael Page clinic in Ithaca at If Only Farm.  Michael won the ASHA Medal Finals, rode in three Olympic Games (winning 2 gold and one bronze medals) and competed in three Pan Am Games (winning two gold medals). 
We had a blast riding with this energetic and dynamic horseman.  He stressed improving on the basics of position, which in turn improves function and effectiveness.   Pat rode Lucky and I rode Suki.    Lucky and Suki jumped great and were very well behaved.  Pat rode beautifully, receiving a lot praise.  We both learned a lot and look forward to working on some new skills.  Next time I would love for more of us to participate in the clinic.  Those that don’t wish to ride should come to audit the clinic.  You observe and learn a tremendous amount from watching and listening. I’m already really looking forward to this event next year!
