Hope to see you at some of these events,
whether as a student, mutual participant, rider or fellow competitor!

Centered Riding Techniques and Cowboy Dressage Tests are Featured in Elaine Meredith Steele Clinics
Centered Riding® is a
body centered approach that will deepen your understanding and enjoyment of the
horse and rider partnership. Cowboy Dressage® is a culture, a competitive discipline and a lifestyle. And there is no better place for a Centered Riding® or Cowboy Dressage® workshop than the familiar surroundings of your favorite venue.
Elaine Meredith Steele teaches riders of all ages, abilities, disciplines, and experience. Through Centered Riding Techniques you can improve your riding and improve your horse's performance as well. Stuck at a plateau? Elaine can help you decipher your individual body habits that are getting in the way of your horse understanding your true intent. Un-mounted exercises dedicated to increasing your self awareness can apply directly to helping your horse. Then your clinic lessons connect the details of your newly found awareness to horseback riding.
Cowboy Dressage® is the perfect application for your newly acquired riding techniques. By carefully working your way through the test levels you can build on your own skills and simultaneously help your horse develop mentally and athletically. And it's just plain fun!
Or line up an evening lecture with Elaine's
un-mounted awareness exercises designed to engage the participants' minds and bodies allowing the group to gain a better understanding of the relationship possible between human and horse.
Plan to arrange an event around Elaine's Centered Riding® or Cowboy Dressage® instruction. Schedule a lesson in the open arena during the morning, on the Cowboy Dressage Court during the evening, or choose your own riding schedule with a mix and match of private, semiprivate and group lessons available. Start with a private to work on your personal riding habits. Then gather your friends into group lessons, string the lessons throughout the weekend, and make your own mini-clinic!

There is no better moment in horseback riding than the wind in our hair, the smell of salt water and the shush of the sand as we walk into the horizon.
Thank you, Bud.

A SPECIAL NOTE:
Phil and Elaine put on some new hats
and have been plugging away on a video project. We'll let you know as we get closer to going
live.
Meanwhile, we've made a lot of discoveries:
Our horse, Bud, is a real ham for the camera.
Phil is just as crazy about taking video as he was with stills.
Elaine is reliving the spotlight when her parents went to school in film
production.
Brett thinks the shotgun mic not only looks like a rat, but really is a rat.
Most of all we have much thanks for the wonderful help and advice we've received from friends and family.
Thanks to Kurt and Kathy for giving us a jump start.
We especially acknowledge and give great thanks to Jean Rhodes of Rhodes River Ranch for believing in this video project enough to jump on board as our first sponsor.
