Paula Helms Saddle Fitting Clinic – June 28th & 29th

Paula Helms Saddle Fitting ImagePlease join us at Ellen Roy’s barn,Last Chance Rance, 1502 University Parkway, Yakima, WA 98901 on June 28th and 29th for a Paula Helm Clinic. In the morning Paula will be teaching group Dressage Lessons on Suppling and Moving Forward and Leg Yields and Haunches-In. Riders purchase both days for a total of two lessons, one on each day. In addition, Paula will be fitting, flocking and demonstrating saddles for individual clients in the afternoon.

Both clinic days include a delicious continental breakfast and a lunch, beverages included. Snacks will be provided to “graze” all day and although the start time for meals is definite the end time is not, so it is okay if you arrive later than others to eat. We will have expert equine educational guest lecturers each day during our lunch hour. Please bring a lawn chair with you to sit.

Due to insurance reasons to ride in the clinic or to ride at the barn in your saddle for a demo/fitting, you need to be a CWDS member. Annual dues are $45, payable to CWDS and can be done at the time of the clinic. Clinic auditors do not need to be members.

Basic clinic fees pay for your meals and the lecturers. Auditors pay $20 a day or $30 for both days. Clinic riders/saddle demo people will pay $10 a day. Haul in fee to Ellen’s is $10 a day, overnight stalls are available in a neighboring stable, please let me know and I will help you make any arrangements. Also, if you have any dietary needs or allergies, I would be happy to assist. We will have vegetarian food available. Clinic fees for meals and lecturers for both auditors and rider/demo people are made out to CWDS, however all saddle demo/fitting/flocking expenses are paid to Paula. Please bring your checks with you the day of the clinic.

Group Dressage lessons will be in the morning and will last an hour, cost is $45 and will include two riders. We currently have one opening on both days at 1015-1115. You will be riding with me and my horse Hans Felix. He is easy going and so am I:)

We held a Paula Helm clinic last Fall and it was a great success, we hope to see everyone there. Please let me know if you have questions or need assistance. Marli Parobek 509.834.9714, marli@parobek.com.
