Two years ago, NEDA, the New England Dressage Association, invited Christoph Hess to the area for the annual "Spring Fling" clinic. It was Hess's first visit to the area and included the obligatory eating of boiled lobstah! I reported on the clinic in NEDA's "Tip of the Hat" newsletter with this article.
This week, Christoph returned to New England for a tour of clinics in the region. Tuesday and Wednesday, he was in Georgetown, Massachusetts at the beautiful Rosebrook Farm, home of Cindi Rose Wylie's Quarterline Dressage. There, Hess cheerfully worked with a wide variety of horses and riders, from novice to Grand Prix. As it was two years ago, it was educational, entertaining and inspirational.
Today & tomorrow, Hess is at UMass in Amherst. After that, he'll be going to Lexington Kentucky and Cleveland Ohio. Hess will be back in New England for a Young Horse and Dressage Forum Clinic with Michael Poulin on April 9 and 10 in Rhode Island. Details can be found here.
With a monster nor'easter snowstorm predicted for tomorrow (April Fool's Day of all things!) and tons of the white stuff still in our pastures and outdoor arena, getting motivated for show season has been challenging. However, after hanging out with other dressage trainers, riders, and enthusiasts, and watching quality training with a world master, the dressage sap is once again flowing! Time to tap it and start boiling!
