Dressage – Basics & Beyond with Dee Packard

Alliant Center Arena – June 2, 2018

We are fortunate again this year to offer our 4H youth the opportunity to benefit from the instruction of Dee Packard! She will be offering two Dressage Clinics for Beginners and Intermediate/Advanced Participants on June 2, 2018.

Abouttheclinician: Dee Packard has a passion for sharing the classical principles of dressage to all riders and their horses regardless of breed, age, discipline or experience. Having worked with a variety of high level professionals broadening her own education, Dee has the ability to relate the concepts of balance, harmony and gymnastic suppleness to help riders and horses of all ages and backgrounds achieve a better relationship through clear communication.

While competing, Dee earned the USDF Bronze medal, completed the requirements for the USDF Silver medal and also scribed for many upper level judges. She brings this experience to her students, teaching them the ins and outs of showing dressage and using the classical principles from the judge’s perspective to improve their scores avoiding common pitfalls riders make during their tests.
