We are excited to announce that Laurien is coming back to Canada!
Laurien van der Meer is a Dutch Grand Prix rider, who will be giving a clinic at Mussennist Dressage on December 9-11, 2016.
Laurien rode her first Grand Prix at the age of 26, the horse she showed it with came to her as a 3 year old and she trained it up the levels by herself. Now at the age of 36 Laurien has trained, shown, and sold multiple horses up to the Prix St. George and the Grand Prix. Her students range from the beginner level to the Prix St. George, with successful results.
Laurien works fulltime in the horse industry as a professional trainer, coach, judge, salesperson, and whatever more comes with the business. She has students that show successfully up to the Small Tour and Intermediare level, as well as beginner students, who she loves to help. Laurien herself has trained with people such as Edward Gal, Anky van Grunsven, Johan Hamminga, and Patrick van der Meer.
In her lessons she focuses on the basics, riding the horse forward between two hands and two legs. From there it is easier to move up through higher level movements.
For the riders who inquire, Laurien also provides lessons purely focused on test riding. To ride accurate and to achieve the highest scores possible for that particular combination.
Laurien is enthusiastic, patient, open for conversation, and is always clear in her technical explanations.
Rider cost: $225/lesson for 45 min including lunch and a groom. Stabling available for $20/night, bring your own feed and shavings.
Auditors fee: $35/day when tickets are booked in advance (Deadline December 2), $45/day at the door. Prices include lunch and coffee/ tea.
If you are interested in participating in this clinic as a rider or auditor, please contact Savannah for more information. You can email her at mussennistdressage@gmail.com
