There are private lesson places available also on afternoon of Friday 29th October, all day on Tuesday 2nd and morning only on Wednesday 3rd November. These are R400 per lesson and R160 airfare share. Anyone booking three lessons will get a free Listener place. Lessons also taking place a Primavera stud. More information on clinics, lessons and bookings on www.nhza.com.
Please contact me by return if you wish to book (benatural@naturalhorsemanship.co.za) As usual, 50% non-refundable deposit is required with final payment due, the month before the clinic.
Please note that only payment will hold your place. There are currently 10 full rider places but you can join the list as a reserve rider if you book a Listener slot and confirm you wish to go on the reserve rider list. Please feel welcome to forward this mail onto anyone you think maybe interested or print it off and put it in your local tack shops etc.
Location: Primavera Equestrian Centre, Pretoria - By the kind invitation of Collinda Kruger
Directions: From Jo'burg take the N1 north to Pretoria and then turn East onto the N4 Witbank Highway. At the 5th off-ramp from the crossing between the N1/N4 (Donker Hook Turn off) turn right. The stud is signed from the off ramp. After 500m, turn right again and into the stud. There is plenty of parking.
Venue: 60 x 20 Indoor Arena. Hands free (headset) and wireless microphone system is available for use by the teacher so everyone will be able to hear the instructions well. Space for Listeners created inside the arena so you will be under cover - but bring folding chairs/cushions. Riders please also bring chairs for when you are watching and for the theory lectures. Primavera will have snacks - burgers/hot dogs etc available for sale and you can book them at the venue. Please NO DOGS - thank you.
About Veronika Bühn
Veronika Bühn, 33, started riding when she was 7 years old. She gathered a varied experience, riding horses of different breeds in Dressage, Jumping and Western Riding. The principles of natural horsemanship have influenced her work with horses for a long time. On her consistent quest to improve her knowledge of horses and riding she met Philippe Karl in 2005 and was deeply impressed by his work. Since 2007 she has been participating as an active rider in the "teacher's class" of the "École de Légèreté". Veronika and her husband run a stable in Germany, educating and schooling horses and riders in the Munich area. Her website (in German) can be viewed on www.prohorse.org.
About the Clinic: Friday 29th October to Monday 1st November
Veronika will offer a 3 day clinic for 10 riding participants and a maximum of 30 "Listeners" (spectators). We want to encourage as many listeners as possible as they will learn a great deal also. The clinic will be comprised of one on one lessons during the day and theory lessons in the evening and listeners will also be able to participate in these theory sessions. The cost of the clinic is very, very reasonable and listeners will get a huge amount out of attending - so do bring along a notebook and pen! Riding participants should also come prepared to make good notes. All riders will be permitted to video their own lesson and a schedule for filming will be set up. Please let me know when booking if you will be bringing a video camera for this purpose so that I can work out the schedule. Video taping other student's lessons will not be possible and listeners will also not be able to use video. Thank you for respecting this request. When booking, please confirm the name of your horse, age, breed, sex (gelding, stallion, mare) and a short description of what you like to do with your horse. Everyone is welcome from novice to advanced and even if dressage is not your first discipline - you will be taught at your level although all horses should be able to work in a bridle and you must be able to walk, trot and canter confidently.
There will be a demo for around an hour before the first theory - this will start at 17.00 and run until 18.00. Everyone is invited to watch, including all those who attended private lessons during the afternoon, and all those who are booked for private lessons on the Tuesday and Wednesday. The theory lecture for the clinic will follow on from this and is open only to the Listeners and riders booked on the clinic. There are theory lessons on the evenings of 30th and 31st also. .
Please make sure you arrive in good time and have your horses settled in - details about stabling/overnight accommodation for your horses is included below along with details on accommodation for students and listeners.

Day 2&3 Day two and three are for working on these points.
October 30th/31st Theory lessons will also be held on these two evenings but will run 18.00 until 19.30
Once participants have booked they will be allocated time slots (outlined below). Students must be ready for their lesson and have their horse warmed up and ready in the 15 minutes before the start of their lesson. There must be no unscheduled break in the proceedings as the day is long and there is much to get through. If you are not ready, you will not be able to make up the time elsewhere. Attire for horse and rider should be simple and tidy - whatever you are used to/comfortable with. Tack should be fitting and in good order.
In order to keep costs down, please make sure you bring packed lunches unless you are buying/booking food at Primavera and any additional refreshments that you require into the evening as the days are long.
Theory Lessons: Classical dressage riding - the way to lightness and suppleness
These will be held at the venue, most likely in the arena. Please make sure you have note books and pens with you and bring a folding chair. Times outlined above and will include the demo session from 17.00. The second two evenings the theory will run from 18.00 until 19.30.

Please Note: Should enough funds be raised from this event, riders will be reimbursed some or all of the airfare cost. Please keep this as a "cash" reserve to be paid at the clinic if required, it will depend on the number of Listener places booked. Deposits of 50% are required in order to hold your place.

You will all be given allocated times and these will also be displayed at the venue.
Accommodation for horses
Available at the venue - stables and turn out. Please contact the venue hosts as listed above for details.
Please note: It is possible to keep costs to a minimum purely due to the kindness of Collinda's offer. Please treat the facilities with respect and clean up after yourselves and your horses. If this goes well we hope to have regular visits from Veronika and it would be nice to be welcomed back regularly by Collinda. Please also remain courteous at all times to others who might be present and who are regulars at the facilities. We are taking over the arena for a number of days and invading the space of others. Your co-operation in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Accommodation for riders
Collinda I am sure will be able to give you local information about where to stay if required. There are a number of places available just at the off ramp and therefore very close and with easy access to the venue. One of them is used to catering and accommodating wedding parties. Of course, the internet will list other guest accommodations close by.
