Ride The Pattern Clinic with Art O’Brien

When: Friday Evening, DEC. 8          Where: University of Findlay Western Farm    

Friday, December 8th at 7:30 pm before the YEDA ‘Twas the Show Before Christmas there will be a ride the pattern clinic with AQHA professional trainer and director of the UF Western Equestrian Program, Art O’Brien.

O’Brien has more than 30 years’ experience in the equine industry as a trainer, rider, and coach. His focus has been primarily on showing performance horses and coaching clients in addition to NRHA and National Snaffle Bit Association (NSBA) competitions. An AQHA Professional Horseman and an international clinician, he has won World Champion titles in both AQHA and Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC) in Trail, Western Riding, Western Pleasure and Reining and his students have won World Champion titles in 12 different events. He is a phenomenal equine professional and YEDA is so excited to have him share his vast knowledge with our riders.

The clinic is free and open to all. The clinic will focus on the YEDA patterns for the YEDA ‘Twas the Show Before Christmas with UF college students riding the patterns while Mr. O’Brien discusses them. You do not want to miss this!
