The Lilo Fore Clinic was a success with about 50 auditors and eight riders. Lilo is an outstanding clinician. She went right to the issue each rider/horse combination needed help with and offered a solution or solutions that made sense to the riders, horses and audience. Thanks Lilo, all the riders for putting yourselves in the limelight and the USDF for presenting the Adult Education Clinic.
