WHO ARE THESE CLINICS FOR and REGISTRATION OPENING DATES: The NZCDS recognise that oportunities for our more experienced drivers are limited, and as such, registrations will open earlier for these drivers.

REGISTRATIONS ARE STRICTLY LIMITED -
When each clinic reaches 80% capacity we will notify all members via FB and Email. Upon 100% capacity, registrations will no longer be taken, and a wait list will be formed for each clinic.
Get Ready, and Get Excited!
To get the most out of your lessons, your horse or pony will require a moderate level of fitness. If your horse / pony is showing signs of tiring, your lesson will be shortened.
You are also expected to present yourself, and your horse/pony in a clean and tidy manner - there will be photographers present! Please ensure that you have someone available to stand at your horse / ponies head during your lesson if required. Your lessons with Anna will be of most benefit if you bring an open (and excited!) mind!!
