Due to the continued "lockdown" here in Kern County, we are being forced to cancel our June 28, 2020 show. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Entries and checks will be shredded. We will continue to hope that our July 26, 2020 show will be allowed by the county. We do have some good news however. Instead of Sunday's show, we have been able to change our clinic with "S" Judge Ulf Wadeborn to include Sunday. It will now be a two-day clinic (Sunday and Monday). We are offering two lesson options, both cost $125 and last for 45 minutes.  Option #1 - Riders can choose a standard lesson with Judge Wadeborn, working on whatever skills or movements of the rider's choice.
Option #2 - Riders can choose a "Ride-a-Test" format where the horse and rider perform the test of their choice in front of the judge. The judge will then offer feedback and a mini lesson. The rider can then re-ride the test, incorporating the judge's feedback. Riders may choose to ride Sunday, Monday, or both days (depending on availability). If you are interested in participating in the clinic as a rider, please contact Chemaine Hurtado @ 805-340-3246 to schedule a day and time. Be sure to let her know which day(s) you would like to ride and whether or not you have a time preference. Again, we offer our most sincere apology for the cancellation of our show. We're as disappointed as you are. Entries for the July show will be available on our website by July 1, 2020. In the meantime, we hope you will be able to join us for our two-day clinic with Ulf Wadeborn, "S" Judge, on June 28-29.
