Peter Gray 2-Day Dressage & Jumping Clinic
10/9/2022 − 10/10/2022
Join us for lessons with Peter Gray at A Bit Better Farm in Brookeville, Maryland. We're thrilled to have Peter back teaching in Maryland before he's off to officiate at the Maryland 5-Star.
** 45-minute private dressage lessons @ $175/rider
-- The plan is to set up mock dressage arenas with letters so that riders can practice their tests if desired.
** 1.5-hour small group jump lessons @ $150/rider
-- The plan is to jump at A Bit Better Farm and offer both show jumping in our large outdoor arena, and/or a derby type course in our jump field. But please note that in case of heavy rain, we will jump at Covered Bridge Farm 15 minutes away in Woodbine, MD.
A few more notes:
1) Every rider receives 1 FREE auditing pass for a friend. Please include that person's name in the notes to organizer.
2) Overnight stabling can be arranged at ABBF or a nearby farm. VERY limited spaces. Email organizer for more info.
