Legacy Stables in Hampstead, Maryland will be offering a discount to USEA Members at their April 10-11 eventing clinic with four-star rider Bonnie Mosser. Owned and operated by Leeandra and Joe Wesley, Legacy Stables features serious training in a fun, educational atmosphere.
The clinic will consist of two group lessons (not to exceed 4 people) concentrating on jumping, both in the ring and then out on Legacy Stable’s recognized cross-country course. Group lesson length will depend on the number of riders in each group.
Bonnie is looking forward to helping participants knock off the dust that surely accumulated during one of this area’s worst winters. While there is an indoor arena available for inclement weather, the hope is to utilize Legacy Stable’s large outdoor arenas and USEA-sanctioned cross-country course.
“It has been a rough winter for most Area II eventers. We’re hoping to give everyone a leg-up on the spring season with this clinic,” said Legacy Stable owner Leeandra Wesley. “Our arenas and cross-country course are just begging to be used. And we’re looking forward to two intense days of training.”
Bonnie is one of the country’s most sought-after riders, trainers and coaches in eventing today. Bonnie, her horses, and her students, boast years of national and international competitive success, resulting from her unique approach to the physical and metal rigors of the sport. Most recently, Bonnie was selected as an alternate to the 2008 Olympic Three-Day Eventing Team. Bonnie is a formidable competitor and is regularly a champion or top placer at every competition that she attends.

Familiarizing yourself with the key players at each horse trial is an important step to your success at your next competition. One of those important figures is the show secretary. Think of the show secretary as the mastermind behind most of the organizational efforts related to each horse trial. They manage entries, the show schedule, ride times, stabling, and so much more. Without the hard work of the show secretary and their office staff, a horse trial simply would not be able to operate.
