Lucinda Green is one of the greatest cross country riders the world has seen and will be running the 2014 Safe Way Cross Country Clinic which is guaranteed to give your horse’s brain a good work out as well as your own!
Lucinda’s credentials almost go without saying but for those who might not know she has achieved record six wins at Badminton CCI4* on six different horses, two World Championship gold medals, and four gold medals along with two silver medals at European championships! Lucinda Green's 'Cross Country the Safe Way' clinics aim to give riders a refresher and concentrate on safe riding techniques. These clinics are designed to develop mutual confidence between horse and rider and encourage the horse to think for himself.
Day one on the clinic focuses on cross-country technique using mainly skinnies and arrowheads in an arena, while day two will be spent out on the cross-country course.
The clinic is limited to 20 spaces and will be on a ‘first in- first served’ basis. All those who miss a place will be placed on a waiting list and if unsuccessful in gaining a space you will receive a full refund. Refunds for scratchings will be processed once the space is filled.
Clinic fee is $370.

Andrew McLean (pictured above at a clinic in WA) will also be at Equestrian Park on 13/14 February offering 45 minute lessons, either private or semi private.
For those of you who may not be familiar with Andrew his work with horse’s behavior is almost at legendry as Lucinda’s work on the cross country course. He has won the highest Australian Science award, the Eureka Prize for Science and over the years has developed and managed the Australian Equine Behaviour Centre, the most internationally recognised horse training and behaviour modification centre in Australia.
Andrew holds a PhD in equine cognition and learning, has been an accredited horse riding coach for over 30 years and written five books (including an International Best Seller) and authored 35 peer-reviewed journal articles.
He is a past winner of the Advanced section of the famous Gawler Three-Day-Event and has also represented Australia in Eventing, been short-listed for World Championships and competed at State and National events in FEI level dressage and eventing. Andrew has show-jumped to Grand Prix level and held a Racehorse owner-trainer's licence and raced bareback in Australia and New Zealand in the 1970 and 80's.
Andrew teaches throughout Australia, Europe, South Africa, USA, Canada and New Zealand working with riders and National Federations on the optimal use of learning theory for improved welfare of the trained horse as well as improved performance.
