PRESS RELEASE FROM THE LOS ALAMOS PONY CLUB

The Los Alamos Pony Club is sponsoring its first three-day eventing clinic this Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 12-14, to further educate local riders of all ages and their horses.

Spectators are invited to the North Mesa Fair Grounds to watch local riders and their horses being trained by Lynn Coates Holmes, a renowned three-day eventing trainer from Aiken, SC

The clinic will be held each day at the North Mesa Fair Grounds in Los Alamos. Observers should bring their own chair, food and water. To park, please approach the Fair Grounds from San Ildefonso Road and turn onto North Mesa Park Road.

Eventing is the name given to the Olympic equestrian sport that includes the English riding disciplines of dressage, show jumping and cross-country jumping. There is a lot of applied science behind riding. The mental discipline, strength and coordination of horse and rider are wonderful to watch. Experience this team building event from July 12th to 14th.

Thanks to such courses, local riders and their horses achieve outstanding performances at regional and national level and interested people are invited to watch and support our local riders.
