Your DDC Board of Directors decided to offer a driving clinic for our members who wish to increase their driving knowledge and skill regarding various driving techniques, training and disciplines.
In keeping with our three year clinic rotation we announced that Muffy Seaton would be our clinician for the 2010 DDC Members clinic. Ms. Seaton is a four-time National Champion. She placed 3rd in the World at the Royal Windsor Horse Show in 1997. In 2005, she trained and qualified the pony who won the Gold Medal at the World Pony Championship in England. She is internationally known as one of the best clinicians and trainers. She is excited to work with all equines - minis, ponies and horses.

The clinic took place on June 4-6, 2010 at the Marquette County Fairgrounds in Westfield. The clinic was intended for our members who wish to increase their driving knowledge and skill regarding proper driving techniques, training and disciplines.
The lesson spots were eagerly taken by members of our club. A few people had to drop out shortly before the clinic but their spots were quickly filled. Muffy was amazed that we filled 3 days of lessons with no empty spots. Just for your info, here is a link to the application form we used.
