Andreas Hausberger, a Chief Rider at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, Austria, will be coming to Donida Farm for a clinic on July 4-8. The Spanish Riding School riders are the finest work-in-hand masters in the world. True classical Dressage…. More info to come soon.

Many people with young or green horses imagine themselves riding down the centerline a season or two from now, or perhaps just a show or two down the road. But when that first show finally rolls around, they realize that their nice quiet horse has taken on a “monster” attitude and everything has become “highlights”. Before long one is afraid of getting hurt or dismounted.

Instead of giving up in frustration and putting your horse back in the stall, we just may have another solution. Christopher Lewman, assistant trainer to Gwen Blake, is now available for “catch rides” and “post rides” at the shows. Help your young or green horse gain confidence at a show without putting yourself at risk.

Christopher has a kind and patient way when working with the young or frightened horse. Cost is $40.00 per ride. Multiple discount. He is now taking on young horses in training at Donida Farm. Contact Christopher Lewman at Christopher.lewman@donidfarm.com (soon to be a working e-mail address) or Gwen Blake for appointments and questions..
