Come school Cross-country with Olympian Phyllis Dawson.
Windchase’s excellent XC schooling course features a state of the art water complex, a bank jump, an Irish bank, a combination of mounds, and a coffin complex, as well as lots of room to gallop. We also have numerous corners, narrows and accuracy questions.
Weather and footing permitting, XC clinics with Phyllis will be held on the following days:
May 4 – Thursday
May 10 – Tuesday
May 19 – Thursday
May 24 – Tuesday
June 2 – Thursday
June 8 - Wednesday
Other dates may be added throughout the year.
The cost will be $95 (For Windchase Boarders, it is $75) Please specify when you sign up if you have any time constraints. Ride times will be emailed out two days before the clinic.
Trailer-ins, please pay with entry via Event Clinics to secure your spot, or mail a check made out to Windchase, due three days before the clinic. Windchase Boarders may leave a check in tack room.
Please make any changes or cancellations no later than three days before the clinic. Cancellations after closing date will incur a $30 cancellation fee.
We will have groups ranging from a very green elementary group for those wanting to stick to small jumps, up to Intermediate. There will be 3 to 5 riders in each group (usually 4). Sessions will run about an hour and a half. Please plan to be warmed up ready to jump at your appointed time.
All clinics are designed to be inviting and user-friendly. We will keep things very basic and inviting for the greener horses, and will incorporate some more creative elements for the higher groups as appropriate. Exercises can be adjusted within a group for each horse as needed. Nobody has to jump anything they don't want to!
We do protect our footing, so in the case of wet or muddy ground, we will cancel the XC clinic and hold Show Jumping sessions in the indoor for those who wish to do so.

Trailer Direction: The address for the clinic: Windchase, Kidwell Road, Hillsboro (or Purcellville), VA 20132 (The street number is 36502 Kidwell Road, but if you put in the street number the GPS will sometimes direct people to turn onto Piney Run Road a quarter mile to the north instead of Kidwell – do not do this. From 671, the Harpers Ferry Road, you need to turn onto Kidwell Road. It works better if you just put Windchase, Kidwell Road in the GPS and not the street number)When you turn up Kidwell Road, we are the 4th drive on the right. The number is 36502, and it says Windchase on the mailbox and rock sign. At the house, bear left and go back past the lake to the stables. Please drive slowly and watch for speed bumps and dogs.
