Working Equitation of North Carolina is pleased to announce the Fall WE Camp at Tryon International Equestrian Center (Mill Spring, NC). The Winter Camp, held last February, was a marvelous success.

Small groups of three teams will ride twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, receiving instruction from each clinician every day. Your horse’s stabling, also in the indoor arena, is included in the cost of camp.

She has earned numerous high point awards through Level 5 in Region 7. Currently Jody is competing at the Advanced level (L6) with her grade gelding, Misty Morning Stash.
