Practical Workshop Sun 18th January
The Practical Workshop for Holsworthy Riding Club at St Leonard's on 18th Januray was a huge success. The first part of the morning was looking at a horse working in all 3 paces and getting a feel for the fit of the walk, trot, canter and which styles suited and didn't suit. We then moved on the the rider's getting their own horses out and riding to music they had bought along and to some music from the Cadence library. By the end of the session everyone had an idea of what kind of music / style they liked and I hope to have inspired them to have a go at getting a disc complied and a floor plan designed.
Theory Workshop Weds 19th
The Theory Workshop for Holsworthy Riding Club at "The Crown & Sceptre" on Weds 19th Nov was a huge success. We had a really good turn out and I was thrilled with everyone's enthusiasm and positive attitude to give Dressage to Music a go. We now look forward to our Practical Workshop at St Leonards on Sun 7th December.
Success at the Riding Club Championships
Katy Deithrick and Karen Franklin were placed 4th at the Riding Club National Dressage to Music Pairs earlier this month. Katy and Karen had never done pairs before and came to Cadence for the music and the choroegraphy. Both their horses Indie and Jester are all round riding club types and all 4 of them really enjoyed the experience and can't wait till next year.
Charity Demo in Aid of St Luke's Hospcie
Cadence ran a successful demo/display at St Leonards, Polson on Fri 29th August 2014 by kind permission of Andy and Kathryn Reeve in aid of St Luke's Hospice. We raised £855.79 and would like to thank everyone who came along. It was a fun informative evening, starting with a demonstration of the paces and matching the music to the walk, trot and canter. We then had some fun with some fancy dress displays by Clare Deithrick, a Pairs routine designed by Cadence by Katy Deithrick and Karen Franklin and a side saddle demonstraion by Ali MelHuish and members of Area 16 Side Saddle Assoc. The evening was a huge success and we will being doing something similar next year.
