Clinics for 2026

Dressage Simulator Clinic with Kendra Clarke March 14, 2026 Frenchtown, NJ

On March 14th, CDA will sponsor a trip to New Jersey to ride the Dressage Simulator!  BLUE is a machine created by RACEWOOD in the UK.  With sensors on the saddle, reins, and the sides of the horse, BLUE gives the Rider the opportunity to practice all the dressage movements and work on their body.  BLUE can preform all the Grand Prix movements and never gets tired!  A video screen in front of the rider allows you to see your patterns and examine your position in detail, guided by biomechanics expert Kendra Clarke.  Kendra is a Level 2 Center Riding, and a Train Your Seat 4* Certified instructor.  CDA members will travel to New Jersey for this all day clinic.  Each rider will have a 45 minute private lesson on BLUE.  Transportation is included in the price, please bring your lunch.
