New Teaching Concept: BFF offers a new concept: a SERIES OF EVENTING CLINICS planned specifically toward Progressive training & preparation for your event horse. This clinic series will not follow traditional routines where instruction topics tend to have a random response to the riders/horses needs. This series will focus on an organized system (see outline syllabus ) of instruction designed to cover a broad range of eventing skills.
All Skill Levels, Affordable, Scheduled for Showing: These affordable clinics will be open to all skill levels from Starter poles on the ground to Preliminary. The Series is designed to build one after the other. Then hone your new skills at our timely scheduled shows that coordinate well with the ongoing clinic series.
Syllabus Driven Clinic: Examples of topics to be covered include correct, safe riding skills, a proper introduction to Ditches, Banks, Drops & Water obstacles; correct pacing on course; learn a "safe" & effective position for galloping on downhill terrain; fitness & conditioning for the Prelim horse; when & what studs to use.

Top Quality, Endorsed Venue and Certified Instructors that will get results for you: Clinic series will be held at Briar Fox Farm (a USEF/USEA Recognized Venue) in our competition dressage arena and over competition show jumping fences and our competition cross country courses (as opposed to "schooling level" arenas, fences and obstacles). The instructors are: Bonnie Griest (Dressage), a USEF 'r' Dressage Judge, Bronze and Silver Medalist and Teri Thompson (Show Jumping and XC Jumping), a USEA ICP Certified Instructor.
Dressage Sessions offer an unusual format that directly addresses ways to improve your scores. This is not your ordinary eventing dressage clinic.
