Westman Dressage in cooperation with Cadora is pleased to announce “Build a Better Dressage Horse with Stephen Clarke” coming to you October 19th – 21st, 2018, at the Keystone Center, in Brandon, MB.

Stephen Clarke is a world-renowned Dressage judge, former competitor, and trainer. With 5 National Championship titles to his name, Stephen Clarke is now travelling worldwide, concentrating on judging and training. As an FEI 5* Dressage Judge, he is equipped to teach and advise all levels of the sport. Stephen is a master at choosing suitable exercises for each horse and rider combination with his priority being relaxation, and the physical and mental well-being of the horse. His calm, consistent approach makes it easy for riders and auditors to discuss issues and ask questions.

Included in the weekend is an evening with Stephen, a banquet, and of course two full days of auditing rides! Stay tuned for the full schedule. Information for rider applicants and tickets for auditors will be available soon at www.cadora.ca and westmandressage.ca.
