A Wine and Dine Dressage Clinic with Vicki Kelley was held Wednesday, June 7, 2006 at Wendy Preble’s Inglewood Farm in Vass, North Carolina to benefit Companion Animal Clinic (CAC) of the Sandhills. Vicki Kelley recently relocated her sales stable, Antares Dressage, to Pinehurst, North Carolina from California. Vicki is a United States Dressage Federation (USDF) ‘L’ graduate (1993) and graduate of the USDF Instructor Program (1995) as well as being a USDF Silver Medalist. She has trained three horses through the dressage levels to Prix St George over her 40-year career as a rider and trainer. The Wine and Dine Dressage Clinic ran from 9 – 5. A luncheon, along with wine, was served from noon until 1 pm. Individual half-hour lessons and shared lessons with one other participant filled the day. Participants chose either a lesson or a “fix-a-test” where the rider performed the test of his/her choice, then received an evaluation from Vicki and performed the test a second time. The clinic filled with both auditors and riders. Contact Wendy Preble at 245-3056 for future clinics.
