Riding clinics

We were so lucky to get Aðalheiður Anna Guðjónsdóttir north for weekend ridingclinics.

Aðalheiður graduated from the University of Hólar as a horsetrainer and ridingteacher and works at the breedingfarm Króki/Margrétarhóf in the South.

Alltogether 10 girls/ladies attented the lessons (no idea if the guys don't need lessons or are just not willing to let a young lady tell them what and how to do).

Saturdaymorning we "showed" our horses in all gaits and Aðalheiður tried all of them to get a better view on the possible problems and where we had some work to do. During lunchbreak we got delicious focaccia bread, cinnamon rolls and chocolate cake, whilst we were spending attention to a lecture about the rider's seat and why dressage is important for all horses.

In the afternoon we worked in groups of 2, horses/riders with similar goals put together. Think all of us were rather sweaty.
Sunday we all got private lessons, which were very intense, a lot to do and think. In the end all of us got "homework" and good advise how to keep working with our horses.

Hope we can convince Aðalheiður to come back soon!
