Ride with Ralph Hill this weekend!

There are a couple of clinic openings to ride with Ralph Hill in the clinic this weekend at Focused Riding Center in Hager City, WI! Ralph Hill is respected and well-known in Minnesota and eventers vie for the opportunity to ride with him. There have been a few late cancellations otherwise there wouldn't still be open riding slots. Riders get a 1-1.5 hour time slot with 1-2 other riders, so you'd be sure to get as much focused attention as you'd want! Ralph Hill has a reputation for seeing straight through to the issue and fearlessly tackling it.
