Working equitation classes

Amy Star will be our instructor here in Scottsdale on selected Sundays to teach us the basics of dressage and ease of handling parts of working equitation.

Here are the dates:

Feb 9, Mar 8, Mar 29, Apr 12 and May 3.

Working Equitation is a fast-growing sport competition which accepts any breed, any style of tack and all levels of horses and riders.

The sport teaches a variety of skills and the horse and rider team are judged on the quality of movement and execution of the tasks. We are learning and growing with the horses.
