Second Annual Young Riders Clinic at Two Swans Farm

When asked how in the world she was able to get five top trainers including three Olympians, and all USET veterans to do a clinic for Young Riders in Wellington, Cetty Weiss said simply, “I just picked up the phone!” DressageDaily first announced the Second Annual Young Riders Clinic at Two Swans Farm March 11-13, 2005, last November, and then people began calling her.

Steffen Peters, Kathy Connelly, and 3 members of the 2004 Olympic Bronze Medal Team, Debbie McDonald, Robert Dover, and Lisa Wilcox, provided training sessions for 30 young riders throughout the country who came with their parents, and over 20 trainers to participate in the two day event. When the numbers soared, Cetty kept calling. Tuny Page whose new property is still under construction had completed the most important part for the winter season, the covered indoor arena, provided the needed second location, where for 2 days Robert Dover and Lisa Wilcox held training sessions at each end of the arena.
