The Institute for Equine Assisted Practices is proud to host a jumping clinic with Sam Morrison, level IV Centered Riding instructor, at Crystal Lake Farm in Gray ME.
Cost $100 (if paid by check, $120 if ordered on site)
Auditing $20 ($15 if paid prior to event by check)
Two groups of 3, divided by expereince and fence height.
1 1/2 hour unmounted session to go over rider and horse biomechanics, rider security, and mental and physical connection issues.
2 hours of mounted work, all gaites and stadium jumping.
Focus will be on the four essential elements of riding which are especially important in jumping:
1. A safe, secure and independent seat.
2. Clear and effective control and use of aids.
3. Non-abusive riding (the rider doesn’t inadvertently cause the horse pain, stress or confusion, or interfere with the horse’s jumping efforts).
4. Horse and rider are united in balance.
Sam began riding at age 11 on Bucky, a Milking Shorthorn steer. A few years later she moved to Dolly Dare, an ex-harness race horse that she both rode and drove. Sam gained a degree in Animal Science from the University of New Hampshire.
In her over 50 years of experience,Sam has studied and ridden western, saddle seat, show and foxhunters, and entered into the fields of combined training and dressage. She taught at summer camps, was head of Riding at Chatham Hall in Virginia and while in Virginia, was a Whipper-In with the Bedford County Hunt. She belonged to the Affiliated National Riding Commission as a rider, instructor, committee member and judge.
In West Virginia Sam established a small riding school. Moving to Kansas Sam re-established the school and set up a riding program for the Physcical Education Dept. at Kansas State University. Moving to Michigan, Sam again set up her school, helped establish the Tally Ho Pony Club and began competing successfully in Combined Training Events on her homebred Thoroughbreds, winning many Michigan Combined Training Association year end awards. Sam attended Sally Swift's first Instructors' Course and has attended Centered Riding clinics, workshops and instructor updates in Vermont. Sam is now a CR Level IV Advanced Instructor and will be giving CR Open and Advanced Clinics, Instructor Courses and Instructor Updates at her Welcome Home Farm.
Sam attended the 1980 and 1984 USDF/Vi Hopkins National Seminars in Michigan as a participating instructor and several USDF Regional Instructor Workshops and Seminars in New England with Swedish trainer Major Anders Lindgren.
Since moving to Maine, Sam has once again set up the riding school, is the instructor for the Leaps n Bounds Pony Club and continues to organize shows and clinics. For the Central Maine Dressage Association she has organized several United States Dressage Federation Instructor Workshops.
Along with training horses and coaching riders, Sam travels to other states to give Centered Riding/Horse Training clinics.
Through the years her most influential instructors have been Clayton Bailey in Forward Riding, Claire Noyes in Foxhunting, Joan MacCarthy and June Mitchell in Western riding and reining, Sally Swift in Centered Riding, Major Anders Lindgren and Eric Herbermann in Dressage, and Robert Hutton in Combined Training. She continues to study with other Centered Riding instructors. She also continues
studying the biomechanics of horse and rider and in the study and practice of bodywork modalities
for rider and horse.15'1-16. For low level eventing and some hunters. Brave, adjustable and more whoa then go. I'm 40 and would like for my next boy to be a bit less "moody". So no buck, bolt or rearing! Some show experience would be great.
Would love to be able to do a payment plan if possible.
