On October 18 the New Hampton School Equestrian Team participated in a clinic with Peter Atkins. Peter is an upper level Three Day Event rider and well-known equestrian instructor. The equestrian team worked to improve its jumping skills with Peter by riding a gymnastic line.
Peter used the line to teach the equestrian team how to approach a
fence properly. Keeping their horses forward, balanced, and finding
the base of the fence were the goals Peter challenged each rider to
attain. The New Hampton Equestrian Team rode with great success and
looks forward to working with Peter again in the future.
