Last weekend Mac went to two-day jumping/eventing clinic at Philip Dutton's True Prospect Farm near Kennett Square. She rode in group of three riders and it went pretty well.
Interesting conversation with Janice about which rider gets the attention... It's the problem horse and innexperienced rider who gets the most conversation with the trainer... other riders don't get as much quality conversation, but if they pay attention at least they'll learn from how the trainer is handling the situation.
I wasn't there on Saturday, but I understand that he ended up mounting one of the misbehaving horses, taking corrective steps ( lots of crop) and keeping up his coaching with the other riders all the while.
Mr Dutton is a pretty quiet guy, but we enjoyed the time and Mac came away with a great exerience! ( and a 3 hour drive home in the impending blizzard...)
Typical!
