Mike Henaghan Clinic- January 3-5,2025

On January 3-5 th Friday thru Sunday, we will once again have Mike Henaghan here for one of his great three day clinics. From cross rails to 3’6 there is learning to be had with Mike in town! I received the ultimate compliment when one of my students told me that she thought my lessons were very similar to Mike’s clinic. What she didn’t realize is that our instructors, including me, gain much inspiration when we can discuss training methods and techniques with Mike, as well as all the outside clinicians that we host, which makes us train better. The clinic you sign up for in January will be felt all year. I’ve copy and pasted his introduction below, with the hopes that all of our riders that are serious about improving their riding will sign up.

Mike Henaghan is a world-class show jumping professional. A respected horseman; some of his notable students have been Allison (Firestone) Robitaille, Beezie Madden, Darren Graziano and Ray Texel. Ray Texel was the youngest rider to win the AHSA (USEF) medal finals and the ASPCA Maclay finals in the same year. Mike has also coached many individuals to top national awards in the junior and pony hunter ranks. An incredible teacher, from the fundamentals to Grand Prix, if you are unable to ride in the clinic, come Audit. You’ll be amazed by what you can learn by watching!

We will offer three clinic days and give preference to riders who ride in all three. We will also give preference to Cedarhill Riders. The first day will concentrate on flat work, the second on gymnastics, and the third day will be putting the first two days together for course work.

There will be 3 sections with a maximum of 6 riders in each section. The cost for the 3 day clinic is $750 or $300/day. There is no audit fee Cedarhill riders and their families. For all others; the Audit Fee is $50/day or $100/clinic. Cedarhill riders should go to our Sign Up Genius under Events to sign up, or email Andrea@Cedarhillfarminc.com. All others please email Andrea to check availability and sign up!

Cynthia Hankins- This Spring?!

Resume below copied from Equestrian Coach- We are so excited to host her for the third time at our Cedarhill Farm!

Cynthia Hankins was a junior equitation star, having placed in the top ten of several equitation finals before winning the American Horse Show Association Medal Finals in 1975. Cynthia has spent much of her professional career traveling between the United States and France, where she rode and trained at a top breeding farm. Many of her students have gone on to become successful professionals within the hunter/jumper industry.

Cynthia holds a USEF R-rated judge’s license in both Hunter and Hunter Seat Equitation, has judged numerous shows in the U.S. and France, and several equitation finals including the 2011 American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Maclay Finals at the National Horse Show in Lexington, KY.

In addition to judging and training, Cynthia shares her knowledge and expertise with riders as a top clinician and in the articles she contributes to publications such as The Chronicle of the Horse and Practical Horseman.

We have now had Cynthia twice at Cedarhill Farm and each time she has invigorated us all to be a better rider and horseman with a clear, concise, correct method to improve our dialog with the horses and ponies that we ride. Cynthia Hankins has imparted only a drop of the vast knowledge that she has, nonetheless giving us plenty to chew on til the next time she returns! We look forward to her return- tentatively scheduled April, 2024.

There will be 4 sections with a maximum of 6 riders in each section. The cost for the 3 day clinic is $750 or $300/day. There is no audit fee Cedarhill riders and their families. For all others; the Audit Fee is $50/day or $100/clinic. Cedarhill Riders should go to Sign Up Genius under Events to sign up, all others should email Andrea@Cedarhillfarminc.com or Text her at 704 965 8798.
