Reining Clinic - June 2009

This was a whole weekend dedicated to reining. David worked on polishing all the manouvres to improve the scores in the showpen. We had video feedback so that everyone could see their performances from where the judge sees them. The weather was kind to us and we had a BBQ on Saturday night with more reining talk.

Yorkshire Clinic
May 2009

David did a two day clinic in Leeds at the beginning of May. It was held at the Yorkshire Equine Clinic and was organised by Hooves Western. The weekend was very well attended by both riders and specators and it was good to meet new people. David will be returning to the Yorkshire Equine Clinic for more clinics throughout 2009 so check our Diary Dates page for more dates.

Leslie Wilkinson-Lyner from Hooves Western presented David with the 2009 model of the David Gray Signature Reining Saddle by Crates. It is available in both the Men's and the Ladies' model from Hooves Western.

Easter Clinic
April 2009

We had glorious weather for our clinic over the Easter weekend. It was nice to see so many of you coming to watch too; some of you fairly local and some of you as far away as Hampshire, Leeds and Cheshire! It was great to catch up with everyone after a long hard winter.
