Redmond, WA – June 2, 2014 – Summer is here and for the next stop on his clinic schedule, George Morris will be heading west to Cara and Jeff Anthony’s Potcreek Meadow Farm in Redmond, Washington. Morris will be teaching June 6-8, 2014, and this year’s clinic is part of the USHJA Trainer Certification Program. This unique clinic includes use of the grass grand prix field that Morris designed, featuring a grob, ditch, and open water. The legendary horseman and coach will be instilling the foundations of good horsemanship for riders and auditors.

After retiring as Chef d’Equipe of the United States Show Jumping Team, Morris has set his sights on developing the future of the sport by conducting clinics around the world. Focusing on helping riders develop correct form and function, Morris has often been referred to as the founding father of hunt seat equitation. Second to none, his teachings, technique and style are revered around the world. Over the course of his career, Morris has been highly successful as a rider, coach, clinician, author and judge.

“We’ve known George for a long time and he used to come here to do clinics before he was the Chef,” explained Jeff Anthony. “Cara rode with him when she was getting started and was on the team in Europe while he was Chef. We are very pleased to have him here, and having a clinic with him in the state of Washington is very important.”

While spots to participate as a rider in the clinic filled up immediately, auditor positions are still available to gain knowledge from the esteemed Morris through observation. A waiting list is also available for riders should spots open up. Auditor spots are offered for $75 per day, or $200 for all three days, and food will be available for purchase on site. The Washington Hunter Jumper Foundation is hosting the Trainer Certification Program and will be providing scholarships of $100 for Washington trainers that complete the clinic requirement.

The daily clinic schedule will begin with the first group of beginner riders at 9:00 a.m., followed by intermediate riders at 11:00 a.m. The final group of advanced riders will commence at 2:00 p.m.
