daily horse training—on the ground and under saddle, whichever discipline or breed of horse you ride. Throughout the week you will experience
women’s health care issues, skin care, facials and massage at the Ranch Fitness Center and Spa with services from the spa menu, as well as
equine training exercises. Horse care is also covered. Healthy organic meals are served, as well as dietary & fitness meal guide lines to take home.

15- 16 - Clinic with Susie Wiedman to be held at Blossom Ferry Farm in Rocky Point, NC.  Susie Wiedman began riding in her early teens in
Lincoln, Nebraska and was fortunate to have Lowell Boomer, the founder and past president of the United States Dressage Federation as one of
her early instructors. In addition to riding and competing in dressage, Susie also showed hunter/jumpers and combined training.

Susie and her horses won numerous state, regional and national awards. She served as President of the Nebraska Dressage Association and was a
board member of the Central States Dressage and Combined Training Association. After graduating from college, Susie moved east to train with
Kay Meredith. Susie purchased her first FEI horse, Encore, from Kay. Encore and Susie competed for years at the FEI levels. Susie earned her
Gold, Silver and Bronze medals from the USDF with Encore.         

Susie spent the following 6 years with Linda Zang at Idlewilde Farm in Maryland, training her horse, Ovation, to the Grand Prix level.

Currently, Susie has two horses of her own coming along, and several training horses that will be competing from Training Level to FEI.

Susie's approach to teaching and training is guided by the classical principles of dressage. Horses and riders are brought along correctly, at their
own pace; short cuts and “quick fixes” are avoided. Susie wants her to students to be able to ride their horses with confidence, and wants the horses
to have confidence and trust in their riders. This is achieved by a balanced approach of Susie training the horse the aids and movements and
teaching the student to execute the aids and movements correctly.

Susie meets regularly with each of her students to develop both long and short term goals. Full training clients and lesson clients have regular video
lessons to track progress. The primary goal at Encore Sporthorse is to learn more about dressage, horsemanship and sportsmanship in a fun, team
atmosphere.
