EVENT: LARRY WHITESELL CLINIC
The Larry Whitesll clinic, held at Rancho Toledano in Penn Valley, CA was an extremely informative event! Larry shared his knowledge about gaited horses both in the show ring and on the trail, emphasizing the use of collection to keep a horse balanced, and thus relaxed and quiet in body and mind. Deanna and Larry worked one-on-one with Bandit during a private hour lesson, as well as riding with the rest of the group for the clinic. Bandit did very well during the whole clinic and has significantly improved.
Please visit the "Photo and Video Gallery" page for more pictures of this event.
