Riding instructor Allison Trill (right) leads student Vicie Records in a lesson. Trill will be hosting an Equestrian Advice clinic on March 13 at Cedar Grove Farms in Cleveland. Want to attend? Visit www.equestrianadvice.net for more information and to fill out the required paperwork.
Trill encourages any and all riders to participate in the clinic. If you have questions, she has answers, for people who want to understand the “whys” of riding, or those who want to bond and communicate with their horses.
“I would encourage people not to be shy – if you’re interested but unsure, call me,” said Trill. “If it’s something you want to do, take advantage of this excellent learning opportunity. There’s a lot to learn and nothing to lose.”
Paperwork for the clinic must be completed by Mar. 5. To download the forms, visit www.equestrianadvice.net. Call Trill for more information or with any questions at 330-352-0325.
Along with the clinic, Trill also teaches riding lessons. Students can come to the arena at Cedar Grove, or Trill will travel to you to work on the issues you and your horse are having.
“If you don’t have a relationship with your horse right now, you will. If you do have a relationship with your horse, I can help it improve tenfold,” she said. “I can teach you to listen to what they’re saying through their body language and to speak it yourself.”
Trill, who is only 21, has been something of a prodigy since she took up riding. She’s owned horses since the age of 10 and is constantly educating herself on her passion, reading books, attending clinics and taking courses. Trill herself is quite accomplished in dressage, a type of horse training that enhances the animal’s natural athletic ability and willingness to perform. At the peak of a dressage horse's development, it can smoothly respond to a skilled rider's minimal aids by performing the requested movement while remaining relaxed and appearing effortless.
Be sure to go ahead and reserve your spot for the clinic, and then check out next week's issue of the Garner News for an in depth look at Trill, the work she does with horses and what to expect from a lesson with this aspiring Olympic competitor.
