Clinic delivered by Patricio Maldonado in Los Porches, La Coruña
On 28th, 29th and 30th January, at the Horse Riding Club Los Porches de La Coruña, an Obstacle Jumping Clinic was delivered by the well-known rider and trainer, Patricio Maldonado.
20 young riders attended the event, aged 14-20 years old, who regularly take part in regional and national competitions.
The Clinic was divided in three; during the first day they performed gymnastic exercises on various floor bars and different layouts used to assess the level of horses and riders; on the second day they worked on conditioned tracks, alternating their direction and the number of bars; and, on the third and last day, they performed jumping over an obstacle trail for each of the groups, where the attending students could assess what they had learned over the previous days.
