Sport Horse Conformation Clinic with Anne Moss
Join us for a comprehensive Sport Horse Conformation Clinic with dressage judge Anne Moss (USEF "R" Dressage Judge, Western Dressage Judge and “R” Sport Horse Judge) where we’ll explore how conformation influences biomechanics and performance. This interactive clinic will consist of three key parts:
1. Classroom Session: Understanding Conformation & Biomechanics
We'll break down Sport Horse conformation and how it relates to movement and performance. She’ll lead a “Let’s Go Shopping” exercise to help participants evaluate conformation strengths and weaknesses—an invaluable tool for selecting and developing sport horses.
Anne Moss will also introduce Harmony Lines, using a marked-up photo of her own less-than-perfect horse for demonstration—ideal for visual learners! Bonus: Bring a printed side-view photo of your own horse to analyze and discuss ways to optimize its potential.
2. Hands-On Conformation Assessment
Participants will observe conformation assessments performed on the in-hand triangle, using a range of demo horses:
✔️ Mature Horse
✔️ Yearling
✔️ Two-Year-Old
✔️ Four-Year-Old
✔️ Five-Year-Old
This session will highlight how conformation evolves with age and how to assess a horse’s future potential.
3. Under Saddle: Sample Materiale Class
Finally, we’ll see how conformation translates to movement under saddle with a sample Materiale Class, offering valuable insights into how structure influences performance in motion.
Whether you’re selecting a young prospect or refining your horse’s development, this clinic will provide practical tools and expert knowledge to help you make informed decisions. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn from an experienced dressage judge!
