What a weekend at the C.O.R.E. Clinic!

Yesterday, Playland hosted their 3rd-ever, C.OR.E. Rider Clinic at the farm. We had a good turnout and despite the wind and cold, we had a great time!! The morning started with an un-mounted session in the barn isles (due to weather) and then proceeded to build on those movements in the indoor on medical balls.

After the un-mounted session finished, next was semi-private group lessons throughout the rest of the afternoon. These lessons are great because they can really take what was learned in the un-mounted session and see it translate directly into riding. 

Each clinic it's very rewarding to see how small movements and awareness can make a huge impact in riders position and movement with the horse. Of course, these clinics are still relatively new for Playland and comments & suggestions are always welcome. Please send any comments to this email.

We also want to take a minute to thank Maya Kuntze Photography for the wonderful photos she continues to provide us with after each clinic!

We also wanted to congratulate Playland horses on good rides this past weekend at shows:

-Virginia Strench with her own PL Black Diamond finished 4th in the Training-B division at the Maryland Horse Trials Derby.
-Caroline Carney on her own PL Cha Cha finished 4th in the Jr/YR Open Novice-1 division at the Pine Top Spring Horse Trials in Thompson, GA.
