Demo Riders Needed!
The program will also need a variety of demo rides for each session.  This is a fabulous way to get feedback on how you and your horse are doing without the pressure of a show.  Demo riders do get to audit for free but need to pay for handouts, lunch and stabling.  Contact Francy if interested.
