be making his way from his Californian training facility for the inaugural
equine showcase.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 16px; ">Jan will be implementing his classical training
techniques at his Equidays clinics where relaxation, rhythm and connection with
the horse are imperative. Jan earned his trainer’s licence under the legendary
German master, Herbert Rehbein and has since trained alongside leading dressage
riders, Robert Dover, Wolfram Wittig and Harry Boldt. Jan returned to Germany
with his horses in 2007 and 2009 for ongoing training.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 16px; ">Jan has actively competed in the sport in the USA
and Europe since 1998, with leading the USA team to gold at the 2003 Pan
American Games as one of his greatest achievements. Shiwon Green, also holding
demonstrations at Equidays, is excited about Jan’s clinics, “Jan has achieved
so much in his own riding career and I have heard fantastic things about his
teaching and clinics. I look forward to seeing what he brings to our
shores.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 16px; ">Other local dressage trainers and riders who will
perform clinics at Equidays include; Andrea Raves, Bill Noble, Jody Hartstone
and Travis Morgan. All clinicians are experts in dressage and will be educating
visitors on various techniques and training tools to enhance horses and riders.
Riders from any discipline can benefit from the principles of dressage and
training methods, therefore, these clinics are a must during Equidays.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; line-height: 16px; ">With a focus on educating all riders from
Preliminary to Grand Prix level, there is something for everyone to learn at
Equidays. Dressage NZ appreciates the abundance of knowledge there is to be
gained at Equidays and is entirely supporting the event. “An educational
showcase like Equidays complements other dressage initiatives such as the
Pfizer Youth Equestrian Forum and the FEI Regional Dressage Forum.
Equidays<span> </span>will assist in broadening the knowledge
base of our equestrian community and gives Equestrian Sports NZ and NZ
Dressage another opportunity to present its multi-faceted nature to New
Zealand riders and horse lovers,” Wendy Hamerton, Dressage NZ Sport Manager.</span></p>
