Gulfport, MS – February 24, 2014 – If you have struggled with going clear over an open water jump or if the idea of jumping a water or liverpool fence sends you or your horse running for the hills, you are not going to want to miss the Mississippi Gulf Coast Winter Classics’ free clinics. On Tuesday, February 25, 2014, Wilhelm Genn will present a Water Jump Clinic and on Tuesday, March 4, 2014, Devin Ryan will offer a Liverpool Clinic.
Both clinics will be held at no cost at the Harrison County Fairgrounds & Equestrian Center in conjunction with the 16th Annual Gulf Coast Winter Classics, which run February 5 – March 16, 2014.
The opportunity to ride with accomplished grand prix riders Wilhelm Genn and Devin Ryan is presented free to riders thanks to the generous support of USHJA Zone 4 and the Gulf Coast Classic Company. Participation in the clinics is on a first come, first served basis, and each clinic will accept 20 riders.
The Wilhelm Genn Water Jump Clinic will offer two sessions of 10 riders each on Tuesday, February 25, 2014. The first session will run from 1 p.m. until 2:30 p.m., and the second session will be held 2:30 p.m. – 4 p.m.
The same format will be followed for the Devin Ryan Liverpool Clinic on Tuesday, March 4, 2014. Sessions will run from 1 p.m. until 2:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. until 4 p.m. with 10 riders in each session.
