USU Extension Hosts Horse Dressage Clinic

Utah State University Equine Extension will host an introduction to dressage clinic featuring Jan Lawrence, dressage instructor for Millbrook Farms, located in Fairfield, Utah, on April 9 at the USU Equestrian Center.

Dressage is the art of riding and training a horse in a manner that develops obedience, flexibility and balance. Dressage training can improve a horse's performance for any discipline through the development of its natural abilities.

“Those who attend this workshop will leave with a greater understanding of dressage, improved riding position and classical techniques to incorporate in their training at home,” said Haley Johnson, a USU equine science student and organizer of the clinic.

The workshop runs from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and includes a morning lecture, exemplary demo rides, single-rider sessions, ground pole sessions and a light lunch.

Auditor tickets are available for $15 online or at the door.
