Please note, Gail will be judging the 2024 WDAA World Show September 18-22. As this clinic is within the 30-day window of that event, World Show entrants are welcome to audit but should not participate. 

What riders say about Gail:

“Gail is an expert at not allowing me to get ahead of myself and I do love that because I’m very good at making things way too complicated!!!”

“Gail is a very constructive, enthusiastic, talented person.”

“Because of Gail’s patience, the depth of her expertise, and ability to balance both my horse’s training and nutritional needs with my own, phenomenal positive progress in horsemanship has occurred. As I prepare for my first recognized horse show, I know I am ready, willing, and able to take my riding expertise and my horse to the next level.”
