Baker Training Stable World Show Clinic


Kara and Patty gave a 2 hour clinic on Western Riding in the Watt Arena on October 31st at the Appaloosa World Show.   Many judges as well as exhibitors were in the stands to hear Patty explain the elements needed to complete in this class as well as watch Kara demonstrate on her two horses who finished 1st and 2nd in the Jr. Western Riding class earlier in the week.   Kara and Patty explained how and when to start a youngster on the lead change training.   Kara demonstrated exercises she uses to strengthen and teach body control to her horses with World Champion Freddy Freeloper.   The second hour Kara set Pattern 4 from the ApHC rulebook and rode Custom Maid Zippo through the course to show how she would show him in a class.   She revealed her secrets on how to get those plus scores and win the big shows like the World Show.   

Kara has studied Western Riding since she was 15 years old.   She started with training from Kristy Staniforth-McCann.  Kara won her first open Western Riding class when she was 16 years old on Kingweeds Houdini in the Sr. Western Riding.   Baker Training stable has gone on to trained 16 World/National Champion in Western Riding since 1996.  It's a beautiful class when done with elegance and grace by a talented horse and rider.
