Come join us for a 1.5 day WE Clinic (come for all or part) taught by Masters Level WE competitor and USAWE Platinum medalist Kimberlee Barker, followed by a two-day WE show at the the Oregon Horse Center’s Prairie Arena , with the option for follow-up private lessons with “S” judge Rebecca Algar in Corvallis, OR on Monday!

Clinic – May 23 – 24
Competition – May. 25-26

About our Thursdsay/Friday 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. 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.

Join us this spring for two days of intensive learning, followed by two one-day WE shows (which you can participate in as either a schooling ride to extend your learning from Camp or as a competitor, to earn awards and points toward USAWE year-end and lifetime awards), hosted by Fox Valley Saddle Association, an official Affiliate Organization of USAWE.

No prior Working Equitation experience necessary!

Our primary goal in offering this event is to continue to grow the supportive and fun working equitation community in Region 5.

We are hoping to welcome our “old faithful” crew of regular participants AND draw in at least ten people who haven’t yet participated in our WE events at Fox Valley Saddle Association.

If you have ever thought about giving Working Equitation a try, but were not sure how to get started, THIS is your opportunity!

If you’re an “old faithful” who is looking forward to shaking off the cobwebs after a winter of less intensive involvement, THIS is your opportunity!

The competitions will be licensed by USA Working Equitation, but you can also participate as a schooling rider (no memberships needed).
Draft Schedule
Wednesday — Move in (ideally between 4:30 and 6 pm). 6:00 pm – Help set up obstacles in the indoor arena in preparation for Thursday.
Thursday – Small group obstacle lessons throughout the morning; Obstacle schooling in the afternoon; early evening lecture with video on judge expectations (with pizza!)
Friday – Small group obstacle lessons throughout the morning; A focus on WE dressage in the afternoon.
Saturday – Show #1
Sunday – Show #2

Cost for Camp + Show(s)
$650 for the camp AND both days of showing (includes stabling Wednesday 4:30 PM – Sunday end of show)

Cost for Only Camp
$400 for the camp alone (includes stabling Wednesday 4:30 PM – Friday 5 pm)

Cost for Only Show(s)
$300 to participate in one day of showing without the camp (includes stabling the night prior to your show and the day of your show)
$400 to participate in both days of showing (includes stabling from Friday 5 pm – Sunday end of show)

Tack Stall
$25/day
Just-for-fun Leadline modified Ease of Handling during show(s) (great for young riders and/or young horses!): $10

BRING A FRIEND DISCOUNT FOR FULL CAMP & BOTH SHOWS
Recruit a person who has never participated in a FVSA WE Show before, and EACH of you will receive $100 discount for this event. Note – both of you should request the discount when you sign up. The discount will be given, in cash, at the event (in case of last-minute cancellations). The discount only applies for people who participate with a horse in both the Camp and both shows. You can school at the show(s) rather than compete if you’d like.

Camping spots with electrical hookups are available on site for an additional charge of $30/day, and there is plenty of room for “dry camping” without electricity.
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: Sarah Pinney, r, California
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Full refunds if you are unable to attend due to a true medical emergency (COVID exposure, sickness, medically unsound to ride). Otherwise, entry fees (less $50 processing fee) can be applied to another FVSA competition hosted by Working Equitation Oregon.
