2025-08-15 09:00 - 17:00 | Douglas County Fairgrounds-Indoor Arena, 500 Fairgrounds Drive, Castle Rock, CO, 80104, United States
Julie Haugen, USEF R WD Judge, WDAA World Champion and trainer, will be the clinician for this exciting new take on our previous pre-show clinics. Participants will get to see Test movements performed by demonstration rider/horse teams and hear judge’s comments in real time.

The day will be divided into two sessions. The morning will include Level 1 riders and above. The Afternoon will be for Introductory and Basic level riders. Each half day session will begin with Julie’s presentation of the levels with their specific movements and requirements. She will identify the challenges on which riders typically lose points and where they can earn extra points. The demonstration horse and rider will be used to clarify where and how the points are typically lost or earned.Each rider will have the opportunity to ride a test and receive feedback on their ride plus requirements that are most often challenging. Afterwards, the team will ride the test again, integrating the feedback and increasing their understanding of each.

Clinic Schedule: 9 AM – 5 PMMorning: Level 1 and above ridersAfternoon: Introductory and Basic Level RidersSpecific ride times will be provided after registration has closed.Clinic Session: WDACO Members $85 | Non-Members $95Auditor Fee: WDACO members – Free | Non-Members $20Stall fee per day: $20
