2025-07-18 08:00 - 17:00 | Fox Valley Saddle Association, 44W300 Rohrsen Rd., Hampshire, IL, 60140, United States
In response to the incredible excitement our May clinic/competition combo has generated, we’re delighted to offer another clinic/show combination at Fox Valley Saddle Association!

Priority for the clinic will be for those new to the sport (for the purpose of this clinic, defined as a horse/rider pair that has competed in 2 or fewer Working Equitation competitions). We’ll start by filling clinic spots with people who have limited (or no) experience in WE. After June 20, we will fill remaining clinic spots with more experienced WE riders. The time stamp when your online entry is received will establish the order in which you’ll be added to the clinic spots as they become available.

Clinicians:
Julie Alonzo has been actively involved in Working Equitation since 2010 and has competed at L1 – L5 on a variety of horses. She regularly travels to Portugal to enhance her knowledge of the sport and has attended multiple judge seminars taught by international WE judges. A USAWE Technical Delegate, Julie has taught over 125 clinics in locations as distant as Australia and Canada as well as Alaska, California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Illinois, Nebraska, Louisiana, New York, Michigan, Missouri, Texas, Utah, and Florida.

Kristine Strasburger is a USAWE Technical Delegate and has taught Introductory Working Equitation clinics in Idaho, Montana, and Nebraska. She has competed in L1 and L2. She attended a four-day Judge Seminar taught by WAWE International Judge Antonio Vicente, from Portugal in August of 2024 and will be spending 2 days at an Immersive Educational Event in Portugal this May, where she’ll be learning from WAWE International Judges while watching a Portuguese WE competition, before spending five days taking WE lessons at one of the most successful competitive WE barns in Portugal.
