AUDITOR INFORMATION -
Bluewater Dressage, Jan 18 & 19, 2010
Please email Jorie Sligh (click on name) or call 616.283.4741 if you have questions.

Check-in:  Please check in at the registration table in the barn before going to the indoor arena to watch lessons.

Weather:  We know that the weather in Michigan can change dramatically… bitter cold one day, balmy the next. Even if temps are unseasonably warm, it’s still January in Michigan! It would be hard to dress too warmly for this clinic.  The heated observation room has seating, however, the best viewing and seating are in the unheated indoor arena. Please plan on wearing layers – long underwear, warm socks, gloves, sweater, winter jacket, a scarf to keep your neck warm, and most importantly a warm hat (90% of body heat is lost from the head).  If your core is warm, your fingers and toes will probably stay warm.  A blanket to wrap yourself in can also help raise the comfort quotient!

Seating:  Seating is provided. The observation room has room for seating, however seating with good viewing is limited. All auditors are welcome to go in and out of the observation room in between lessons to warm up.

Schedule: Click Here for schedule in pdf. Click here for schedule in Word document. Schedule will also be provided at the clinic in a program.
