Come join us for private WE lessons taught by Masters Level WE competitor and USAWE Platinum medalist Kimberlee Barker, followed by two licensed WE shows at the the Oregon Horse Center’s Prairie Arena.

Clinic – Friday, July 19 – roughly 8 am – 5 pm
Competition – July 20-21

About our clinician:
Kimberlee Barker is a Masters Level Working Equitation and USDF Grand Prix Dressage rider, trainer, and competitor. Kimberlee is a recognized Working Equitation Coach in USAWE’s Coaches Network, has earned her USAWE Pewter, Bronze, Silver, and Platinum Medals. Kimberlee is currently only the third person in the U.S. to have earned a Platinum Medal and the first to earn it with the new stricter requirements through USAWE. A graduate with distinction of the USDF “L” Judge Education Program, Kimberlee has earned her USDF Bronze and Silver Medals and has nearly completed her Gold.

Kimberlee is known for taking “non-traditional” dressage horses up the levels, and her most recent dressage partner, RedPrairie Storm (Dales Pony) earned the Reserve Champion placing in the Oregon Dressage Society’s 2021 State Championships in the Training Level Open Division, as well as being the high point horse, out of all breeds, competing in WE in 2023. Kimberlee and her long-term dressage partner Gladheart Black Harris (Morgan) are currently competing at Prix St. Georges and plan to compete at Grand Prix in 2024.

Recognizing that Working Equitation uses dressage principles to create a relaxed, athletic, and obedient horse in both traditional dressage work and in dressage through obstacles, Kimberlee believes that this sport creates the ultimate harmonious relationship with the horse. She enjoys working with all breeds of horses and teaches students from Introductory to Masters in Working Equitation, and Training Level to FEI in Dressage. Kimberlee judges and teaches clinics in both Working Equitation and Dressage and is based in Corvallis, Oregon.

Entry Fees:
Friday WE Clinic Private Lessons approximately 45-minute private session (focus on dressage, obstacles, or split your time and work on both) on Friday – $140/session.

Saturday/Sunday WE Show Entry Fee: $300 (includes 1 bag of shavings, and stabling from Friday 2 pm – Sunday night. If you are not participating in the clinic, please plan to arrive no earlier than 2 pm on Friday (honestly — NO EARLIER — if you arrive prior to 1 pm on Friday, please plan to pay a ‘haul in fee’ to OHC and amuse yourself in the main facility rather than coming to the Prairie Arena). Additional bags of shavings can be purchased on site for $10/bag.

Add a 2nd show (if time allows) for an additional $120.

Tack Stall: $100

(OHC Boarders who do not need stabling can request a $100 discount because they don’t need a stall)
PLEASE DO NOT BRING OUTSIDE SHAVINGS IN — we are charged an extra $35 per stall if any outside shavings are used.
Camping is available on site — please make reservations directly with the Oregon Horse Center if you are planning to camp (we do not handle the camping spot reservations at all).
To compete, riders must be current members of USAWE, and all horses must be recorded with USAWE. If you are participating for schooling only, this requirement is waived.
Judge:
Kim Roe, “r”, Washington

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Because of the need to pay in full for the facility and Judge expenses, regardless of weather or medical considerations, no refunds can be issued for this event (no exceptions).
