Due to the unprecedented influx of dressage heavies into New Mexico during the second half of April, we thought it best to reschedule the Bill Woods clinic slated for April 23 and 24, to August 6 and 7. Bill will judge the NMDA schooling show at Taos Equestrian Center on August 8. For more information and biography of Bill Woods, go to woodsdressage.com. I also recommend his new book, Dressage Unscrambled. Watch for updates on registering for the clinic and show in newsletters and at sangredecristowarmbloods.com.
