His tireless energy, the intuitive way he related to each horse, introducing excersises which worked no matter what the breed - is what made the Raphael Soto Clinic in April an inspiration to all who attended. Three-time Olympian and Team Silver Medalist Rafael Soto from Spain conducted a two-day dressage clinic at Joli Burrel's Halcyon Farm in Palm Beach Point East, in Wellington, Florida.

Rafael’s first ever trip to Wellington (and only second clinic in the United States) was enormously helpful and appreciated, according to all of the riders who participated. Burrell’s luxurious farm and covered arena was an ideal location for the clinic which drew over 85 auditors and featured Grand Prix riders Bruce Miller, Pati Pierucci, Arlene (Tuny) Page, Cheri Reiber, Janne Rumbough, Michael Kohl, and Kathy Von Ertfelda.
