Ranch Riding Winter Series with Sherrye Johnson-Trafton
Attention all current and potential lessors and boarders! You are invited to join our exclusive Ranch Riding Winter Series featuring critiques and scoring by Sherrye Johnson-Trafton. Sherrye is a certified Ranch Riding judge, among many other awesome accolades . This is a 12 week series that will run from Jan. 18- April 4. Every two weeks you will be given a ranch riding pattern to practice on your own time or in a scheduled lesson. At the end of the two weeks we will submit a video to Sherrye who will critique it and give you a mock “score”. This is a fabulous way to hone in on your technical skills this winter and be more than ready when/if we ever see spring. The cost of this series is $200 for lessors and boarders.
THIS IS A GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT IDEA!!
Attached is a sample pattern that you may be assigned. Patterns will be set up in the indoor for the two weeks they are assigned. See Melissa for questions.
