Winter Clinic at Leslie Harrison's  
Jumping & Eventing trainer John Staples will have his first clinic at Leslie Harrison's arena on Thursday, January 17th from 10:00 on. His lessons are approximately 45 minutes and they can be either privates ($65) or group ($55 each). You can do anything from a completely flat lesson to one with cavaletti to more of a jumping/gymnastics lesson. So, don't feel like you have to be competing in eventing to do these lessons.

Please email Heide Anderson @ heide@townofbreckenridge.com or call her @ 970.389.3357 if you want to do a lesson and whether you want to be in a group or do a private. If you prefer a group lesson, let me know the level of you and your horse and what type of lesson you'd prefer. For those of us that are not currently boarding a horse at Leslie's barn, there will be a $10 arena fee.


John is from Wichita and has started coming to Colorado to give lessons to Jim Moore's former students since Jim moved to Virginia. John has been coming for one to two weeks each month to give lessons at Stellar Stables in Parker and Ken Caryl Equestrian Center in Jefferson County. He has ridden at the advanced level and has coached students from beginner up to advanced levels. He is a Level III certified USEA (United States Eventing Association) instructor, and is interested in ramping up the instructor certification program here in Colorado. The people that I've spoken with about him have had nothing but really positive things to say about his teaching style and communication. He is actually thinking about moving to Colorado because of the possible client base here.

In any event, you can read more about him and his coaching/instruction at http://www.windermerestables.com/
