I’m running a Clinic with a Portuguese Instructor named Francisco Campeão
He is going to be teaching Classical Dressage and Working Equitation which is a fancy name for Dressage with Obstacles.
This clip is something to aspire to but Francisco is an Internationally Accredited Master and can teach us at the Grass Roots Level.
The Clinic will be held on July 13th & 14th in an indoor at Wandin.
There are a few riding places available and you can start off with no more knowledge than seeing this video.
When I started, I had no idea what it was about.
There are a few places yet to fill so if your keen, give me a call on 0418 380 809 and we can have a talk about it.
You will learn so much and be truly inspired.
Fence sitters are also welcome.

It’s definitely a different world now. Perhaps a compromise with old and new could be an amazing goal. 🙏

Parents, open your eyes.

A teacher was grading homework. Her husband, meanwhile, was walking around the house glued to his smartphone, immersed in his usual game.

When she reached the last paper, the teacher began to cry silently.

— "What’s wrong?" — her husband asked, surprised.

With tears in her eyes, she replied:
— "I had asked my students to write an essay titled 'My Wish.' The last one broke my heart..."

Curious, the husband asked:
— "What did it say?"

The wife began to read:

"My wish is to become a smartphone. My parents love their smartphones so much. They hold them, take them everywhere, and look at them for hours. When Dad comes home from work, he talks to his phone—but not to me. If it rings, they pick it up immediately, but if I cry… they often don’t listen. They play with their phone, but not with me. When I speak, they don’t hear me… because they’re talking to someone through the screen. That’s why I… really wish I could be a smartphone."

The husband fell silent. Then he asked:
— "Who wrote this?"

The wife looked him in the eyes.

— "Our son."

No further words were needed.

Children don’t ask for much. Just presence, love, and attention.

Phones can be recharged. Childhood memories cannot.

Turn off your phone.
Turn on your heart. ❤️

I have now done 3 clinics by Francisco now and they are amazing.
I do a private Dressage lesson in the morning where Francisco, amongst other things, makes sure I’m up to speed with the skills needed for the afternoon Equitation session, which I prefer to do shared as I get rest and observation time as well as save some money because it’s shared.

MANSFIELD PC & OPEN HORSE TRIALS
Stressage is slowly starting to show an improvement, a nice quiet and calm test putting us in 6th place.
Show Jumping, Our new warmup management plan seems to be working. Perhaps a bit embarrassing having to start at 50cm and work your way up but the end result was an “almost quiet” double clear, crowd pleasing round.
Saturday night was a BBQ and Lamb Shoulder on the spit for a table of 10 at the Party Bus with the campfire and a few drinks going down very well.
Cross Country on Sunday is where Ry and I really shone through. Firstly a huge pat on the back for me, I didn’t get us lost, miss any jumps or have to stop and ask anyone for directions so my navigational skills were clearly better than normal. Riley, after a couple of jumps grew wings and flew, dragging me around like a seasoned pro. For all of you that actually know him can appreciate how fabulous that is. He is always a crowd pleasing attraction but CLEAR AND UNDER TIME is the elusive bonus pulling us up to our best result ever 4th place.
Yes, there still plenty of room for improvement and I’m looking forward to it.
Thanks to those friends that make it so much more than a competition and also to Mansfield Pony Club for a fabulously run event.
The weather gods are also shining on us so I hope you all have an amazing Easter Break. 😉
