Academy Showing Clinic

Nine enthusiastic academy show riders entered the ring on Saturday night for the inaugural clinic of 2012  with Scott and Carol.

 

 

 

These young riders benefited from the experienced eyes of these accomplished trainers.  They learned about ringsmanship, making sure the judge is able to see them in a class, and participated in  lots of  fun exercises to practice their new strategies.

 

 

 

 

 

Scott and Carol even put them through their paces at some workouts while working on psychology with each horse to make them stand out.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These nine academy show riders ate up all the information from Scott and Carol.  ’Team Matton’ has  produced multiple world champion horses and equitation riders, including two riders who have won the triple crown of saddle seat equitation.  In addition, Scott travels all over the country to judge shows at the highest levels of competition.

 

Some of  our older academy riders will get their chance to work with Scott and Carol in March, and we hope to continue these opportunities for our academy show stars in the future!
