Mike is available for dressage clinics with students of all levels. He is adept at assessing what horses and riders require in order to accomplish their equestrian goals (competition or not) and in assisting them to get there in a positive and encouraging environment.
Clinics should be educational, not exhausting! Mike's students end their lesson(s) with a clear idea of what they can do to achieve the next step of their riding goal - whatever that may be.
Mike welcomes horses and riders of every kind and level with a focus on developing a harmonious relationship between willing partners from the earliest stage of riding to the top.
He has helped adult amateurs build solid basics and come up through the levels to Grand Prix.
Collection is required at 2nd level, and Mike can help the intermediate rider to put their horse together tactfully as well as introduce and confirm flying changes.
For those with FEI or Grand Prix ambitions Mike offers "3P" lessons and clinics to teach piaffe, passage and pirouettes. He has trained over 200 horses of all types to do these movements, and can assist the ambitious rider to harness their horse's natural instincts to produce Grand Prix movements.
Mike has also been invited to Europe to train internationally.
Please contact Mike directly and also check out his references to learn what you can expect from his clinic and lesson programs.
