"Going into 2012 it was useful for the riders to practice the new Olympic Grand Prix Special test," said Jenny Van Wieren-Page USEF Director of Dressage, High Performance. "Another important aspect of these clinics is planning the 2012 competition and training schedules with Anne."

The following riders and horses were in attendance:
Jan Ebeling with Rafalca and Rosenzauber 8
Adrienne Lyle with Wizard and Accolade
Marie Meyers with Fandango
Leslie Morse and Fleur Rouge
Alyssa Pitts with Jil Sander
Mette Rosencrantz with Finally
David Wightman with Partous
"The best part was doing the test," said David Wightman. "I think for Pre-Olympic preparation that it is imperative to work on the test. This was exactly what both my horse and I needed. It was perfect to work on the weak points after the test. The team of Steffen and Anne worked very well together. Anne would say it from the judge's point of view and Steffen gave very good tips for me as a rider. I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to participating again."
These clinics will continue with Gribbons and Peters in January in both Florida and California. The focus will be on potential team combinations.
Thanks to Betsy Juliano, Epona Farm, Linda and Michael Fowler and Button Baker for making this first clinic a success.
