Pressure Proof Riding Clinics by Daniel Stewart + Sports Psychology Seminar
Jumping and Dressage
A wonderfully challenging and empowering series of riding clinics designed to increase confidence, courage and concentration by decreasing fears, failures and frustrations; doubt, distractions and dwelling on mistakes. My clinics are as enjoyable as they are motivational and always include a sport psychology seminar, book-signing, Q&A and a rider fitness bootcamp. Join me and learn how to create strong minds (confidence, courage, concentration), strong bodies (supple, strong, symmetrical) and strong teams (camaraderie, cooperation, communication).

Pacing Clinic for Eventers w/ Phillip Dutton
Want to learn about meters per minute and how optimum time, speed faults, and time penalities actually work on a xc course? Phillip Dutton will join us to teach our riders how to safety find the right speed for their appropriate level. We will hold this clinic on Portofino's beautiful conditioning track.
