SUMMARY:Centered Riding/Sure Foot Pads Clinic
DESCRIPTION:Clinic Cancelled due to insufficient entries. \nClinician Deborah Murphy explains how your body moves\, offers an introduction to Sure Foot Pads and using Centered Riding Techniques. The clinic also includes small group lessons that let clinic participants practice new skills.\n \nDate & Time:\nSaturday\, June 5\, 2021  ::  9:00 am – 4:00 pm (rain date June 13\, 2021)\n \nLocation:\nWestfield Riding Club\, 29 Fowler Road\, Westfield\, MA 01085 \nClinic Description/Schedule:\n12 Riders Maximum at this clinic.  Auditor slots available. \n\nMorning Session\nHow your body moves\, intro to sure foot pads for you and your horse\, utilizing centered riding techniques.\nLunch\nBring your own (no food vendors will be onsite due to COVID-19)\nAfternoon Session\nUse your skills with a 45 minute to 1 hour\, 2 to 3 riding group lesson.  Time slots will be assigned on a first come basis.\n\nPrices:\nWestfield Riding Club Members:\n$85 full participation/ride  ::  $20 Audit \nNonmembers:\n$95 full participation/ride  ::  $25 Audit \nDebbie Murphy is a USDF Associate Instructor\, Centered Riding Instructor- Level ll\, Reiki Practitioner-Master Level\, Feldenkrais Practitioner\, Sure Foot Equine Stability Program Practitioner-1 Hoof Level \nAfter retiring from the U.S. Government\, Deborah became a full-time riding instructor and incorporates Dressage training principles\, Centered Riding techniques and principles\, and Feldenkrais Method® principles in all the lessons she teaches. The Centered Riding method uses body awareness\, centering and imagery to re-educate a rider’s mind and body to achieve greater balance to better communicate and move with the horse. Deborah learned that the Awareness through Movement lessons (Feldenkrais Method®) helped her in all aspects of her life\, not just in riding. Normal day to day activities were done with more ease\, her body was more even\, and balanced\, physical movements were done more freely and more efficiently. In addition to Feldenkrais for people\, there is a program for horses involving the use of the Sure Foot® pads developed by Wendy Murdoch. The Sure Foot Pads seem to help horses in a similar way that the Feldenkrais Method helps people. The program offers the horse the ability to self-govern while creating awareness in posture\, balance\, and movement. Standing on the Sure Foot pads allows the horse to “reset” or self-correct habitual patterns. Using the pads seems to help the horse “reprogram” his or her own brain (again like Feldenkrais work). The pads also act like a magnifying glass to the observer. They have a soothing effect\, bringing more tranquility to the horse which can last longer than a single session\, reducing long term stress. Some of the benefits include better performance\, relaxation\, and well-being\, improved proprioception\, support during chronic illness\, help with rehabilitation\, enhancing training\, and Improved learning through novel\, interesting experiences. \nLinks and Downloads:\nUse the links below to register for the clinic (NOTE: Both auditors and participants MUST fill out BOTH waiver forms). \n\nOnline Registration Form\nDownloadable Clinic Flyer\nDownloadable Release & Hold Harmless\nDownloadable Liability Waiver\n\nQuestions?\nEmail us at westfieldridingclub@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:2019 WRC Games Day
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, August 10\, 2019: WRC Games Day\n(Rain date 8/11/19)\nWestfield Riding Club Grounds\n29 Fowler Rd.\,\nWestfield\, MA \n \nDescriptions of Classes\nSimon Says\nExhibitors must accomplish tasks as directed by the announcer with the cue\, “Simons says….” Riders who perform the tasks without the cue are out. Leads and diagonals will count. The game is the same for in hand– just leading instead of riding. \nEgg & Spoon\nRiders or handlers will carry an egg on a spoon through the class. The one who keeps the egg on the spoon the longest wins! \nWater Race \nRiders or handlers will carry a cup of water through the class. The one who has the most water at the end of the class wins! \nLead Line Candy Race\nOn GO\, mounted lead line riders will be lead to end of arena. Their handlers will help them dismount\, then the handlers will bring back horses to the starting point with the riders following behind on foot\, gathering as much candy as they can. The rider who gathers the most candy wins. \nCarrot Race\nExhibitors ride from the in gate to the other end of arena and dismount. There\, they pick up a carrot and use it to persuade their horse to follow them back to the starting line. The game is basically the same for in hand\, but the handler runs down with horse in hand. \nScurry\nRiders or handlers move their horse through a course that includes going over two cross rails\, around a barrel and go back over the two cross rails to start line.   \nWalk/Trot Sit-A-Buck\nEach exhibitor must ride bareback. Upon entering the ring\, the judge places a piece of paper (approximately 3” x 5”) under the rider’s leg between the knee and buttocks. The horses are then worked at a walk\, trot\, and canter both directions of the ring. Any rider not performing the gaits asked by the judge in a reasonable amount of time is eliminated. As exhibitors lose their paper\, they are eliminated. The last to lose the paper is first; next to last\, second\, etc.  \nPole Bending Pattern  \n*In Hand Pattern:  Weave down\, Run Back  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nKeyhole Race\nThe starting line will be 50-100 feet from the entrance to the keyhole. The entrance will be 4 feet wide and 10 feet long\, connected to a circle 20 feet in diameter; this forms the keyhole. \nContestants will cross the starting line\, proceed through the entrance\, turn right or left in the circle\, making a complete 180 degree turn. Then the contestant will exit the keyhole through the entrance and cross the finish line. The contestant will be disqualified if the horse steps outside the chalk line marking the key hole. \n \n  \n  \n  \nBarrel Race
