Bernie Traurig Clinic

This weekend we're at the Bernie Traurig clinic at Peaceable Kingdom Farm in Fort Collins.  It's a hunter jumper clinic, and we're eventers, but there's always something to learn from different disciplines.

Alice and Carol are riding in the crossrails group first thing in the morning at 8, and even though it was overcast Kimberly Hale Photography got some great photos!

I rode Raven in the 2'3" group, but she was feeling her Feisty McSassyPants and so the clinician had us just doing small crossrails and cavalletti to try and settle her. 

This last one is from when I was in the arena watching Carol and Alice's rides.  Because the clinician teaches with more traditional techniques using regular aids such as reins and leg, I was pondering how best to translate the instruction into Centered Riding jargon for them.  Clearly I had some serious thoughts!
