What A Day!

This morning, Fly Lite and Lara Knight had the opportunity to ride in a clinic with show jumping champion Anne Kursinski. She is a two time Olympic silver medalist in team jumping (1988 and 1996) and has won just about every other show jumping competition as well.

As our show horse, Fly Lite is the face of the center at competitions and took this opportunity to improve her skills. Anne Kursinski even rode Fly Lite for a bit, demonstrating the concepts she was teaching. Additionally, our trainer Lara Knight learned different ways to teach skills and can bring back what she learned to the rest of our wonderful horses. Stay tuned to our Facebook page for pictures from this fabulous clinic!
