In this clinic Steinar will aid you in how to get the most out of yourself and your horse in every day work and riding and also during competition. He will work with people on the specific issues they need assistance with, and he will also be working with you and teaching you the various things about competitions (if you so desire): He will go over the rules and regulations of the competition, explain speed changes, which lead to be on, where to start pacing, etc. He will go through the scoring system, explaining what the judge is looking for to receive different scores, and much more. During the clinic, riders will work on the track with the clinician. There will be 2-4 riders on the track at the same time, and also one-on-one / private lessons as needed. Friday lunch is included for those participating in the clinic. No dogs allowed at the clinic.

Final tölt open top 5 placings from the previous day ** The Thor Cup Challenge is our own class and creation, and it was suggested by Lori Leo of Four Winds Farm. This event will be an individual event with one rider on the track at a time. Even though this is a sports competition, The Thor Cup Challenge will be conducted like a breeding show, where the rider has 8 runs to show all 4 or 5 gaits - like one would do in a breeding evaluation. The rider will have to set up their own routine, which gait they want to show on which run, etc. The rider will be scored for each of the gaits, and will also get a total score for rideability. The thinking behind this challenge and competition is that this could be practice for those riders who may not be ready, or may not want to show at a breed evaluation, but are both interested in challenging themselves to do this, and interested to see what kind of scores they would receive. Please note, this challenge requires preparation and practice, set-up of routine, etc.
