Jessica Costello & Rebecca Howard Clinics!



Hey Raynham Riders!

Thankfully the temperatures are back up to a much more comfortable range!  With all of our exciting plans for this winter, it will be spring before we know it!   We have two terrific clinics coming up, please email Nikki ASAP if you are interested as spaces are limited! 

NOTE: 
Clinics aren't just about your own lesson - riders are encouraged to watch as many of the groups as possible.  Often you can better understand a theory when watching instead of trying to listen and do at the same time!  Both clinics also include coffee, hot chocolate, snacks and a meal!
