Pippa Callanan Clinic
2025-09-25 08:30 - 2025-09-27 17:30 | Sycamore Seed Farm, 303 Willingham Rd, Charles Town, West Virginia, 25414
ABOUT THE CLINIC:
This is the last of the 3 clinics this year with Pippa Callanan. Pippa Callanan’s teaching style aims to promote autonomous, thoughtful riders who have a deeper sense of trust and connection with their horses, no matter what breed, level or background. For her, the essence is to become a student of the horse, which means to strive to understand the causes of any difficulty by listening and taking seriously the word of the horse. This demands a humility, sensitivity and discipline that becomes a way of life.
Pippa is happy to share the breadth of her classical dressage knowledge with horses and riders of all disciplines and levels.
Pippa follows methodology that is kind, respectful and grounded in classical principles, alongside contemporary understanding of horsemanship and ethology.
There are 4 clinic riding spots still available for the 3 day clinic and they will be reserved on a first come, first served basis, when payment is received. The clinic includes 3 one hour individual lessons and auditing for all three days. A waiting list will be created in the event that all the spots fill. Clinic purchase is non-refundable, although it may be transferred to an alternative participant at minimum 48 hours prior to the start of the clinic.
