George Morris Returns to Buffalo Therapeutic Riding Center for 29th Annual Clinic Nov. 9–11

Buffalo, N.Y. – Oct. 19, 2018 – The Buffalo Therapeutic Riding Center (BTRC) is pleased to once again host its highly anticipated 29th annual George Morris clinic.

Riders at the BTRC will be polishing their boots and making sure all tack is in pristine condition when Morris makes his way to the upstate New York facility for his yearly clinic, which will be held Nov. 9–11.

As part of the USHJA Trainer Certification Program, this clinic is one of the most anticipated events for equestrians looking to improve their riding techniques and broaden their knowledge of the sport from a true legend.

All of the BTRC’s clinics and events serve as fundraisers for its programs aimed at providing children with special needs the chance to ride and care for horses. Past clinicians include Rodney Jenkins, Buck Brannaman, Melanie Smith Taylor and Beezie Madden. The BTRC also welcomes the public to ride in or audit its many clinics.

Often referred to as the “founding father of equitation,” Morris will teach in a personal setting with three groups of riders at varying levels: intermediate, jumper and advanced. Although the clinic is full for riders, auditing spots are still available!

For those who have always wanted to watch world-class training and instruction from the esteemed horseman and rider firsthand, auditing spaces are $250 per person for all three days or $90 per person each day. A discounted rate of $240 for all three days is offered to those pre-registered and paid in full by Nov. 1.

If an auditor would like credit for the USHJA Trainer Certification Program, the cost is $300 for all three days. The BTRC is still accepting auditor applications. Information and applications to attend this year’s clinic can be found here.

In addition, the BTRC is proud to welcome Emma Walters, who will be participating in the advanced group, to this year’s clinic fresh off her reserve championship in the extremely competitive Large Junior 3’3″ Hunter division at the Pennsylvania National Horse Show with the BTRC’s own Crisp.

Executive director of the Buffalo Therapeutic Riding Center, Susie Schoellkopf, has hosted the clinic with Morris for over 25 years. Schoellkopf admires Morris’ focus on getting back to the basics and strongly believes his teachings help raise the standards of training and instruction in the United States.

The BTRC houses both the Buffalo Equestrian Center as well as SBS Farms, Inc. Built in 1922, the 160-stall facility is a historical landmark, with its unique English Tudor and Gothic-style architecture. For more information on the Buffalo Therapeutic Riding Center, please visit www.thebtrc.org.
