We had a wonderful weekend with Amelia Newcomb at Willow Draw on May 18th and 19th. Twelve riders and over 80 auditors came away from the clinic with fresh ideas, new perspectives, and plenty of homework, all delivered with Amelia's signature positivity and keen observation of both horse and rider.
