Did you hear about that course where the gate was at most 15' off the wall, from the approach side? And it didn't get corrected!
Or how about the 8 minute speed trial runs?
Have you felt like you'd need a much higher level horse to ride some of the crazy approaches and lines between obstacles? Like an angle jump, facing a wall?
Do you worry that YOU might design a course that people still talk about, for all the wrong reasons?
Or, even worse, makes your horse hate obstacles?

Your Working Equitation Obstacle Performance!
The camps will be based on the US rule book, but the basic principles of course design and rider approaches are consistent worldwide.

What Are the 'Rider Strategy' and 'Course Design' Camps?
Rider Strategy Camp
In Rider Strategy Camp, you will be drawing and receiving feedback on your chosen routes on a variety of maps, designed to scale, so you can train your eye.
With practice, and the feedback you receive in our private community, you will become more clear on what you do understand, and what you don’t and will recognize the best line choices for your horse, more quickly.
When you see a live course, you'll be able to recognize the challenges that have been added, whether intentionally, or accidentally.
And can then choose whether to accept them, or find an easier path, based on how your horse feels that day.
Course Design Camp
In Course Design Camp you get the tools you need to understand the elements of good course design, and a system to make producing your course maps easier.
There will be challenges given that come up when you build maps for different levels and locations, to prepare you to make adjustments, while keeping the original intent of your design.
The maps you create will give the Judge a variety of skills to evaluate and make it easier for them to classify the riders.
And your knowledge of the rules, what a horse is capable of, and how to intentionally add challenges to a map will improve the training of horses through progressive levels of difficulty, that build their skills and confidence.

I've often been disappointed in the courses in WE that we have shown on and with the maps that are used that are not to scale.
Trish has pulled together information and technology in a way that makes it incredibly useful for show managers, riders, trainers, judges, etc.
As a trainer or rider, the methods and practice of 'running' through your course on paper and working out different tracks is critical to gaining points in EOH and shaving time in Speed.

"I came into this course expecting my previous knowledge setting up and competing in many obstacle challenges to make it a pretty simple task. Although my previous experience helped, I definitely struggled at first. The course is extremely "comprehensive", and needs to be with all of the levels and rules that go into designing a course for Working Equitation.
By the end of the class, I loved the program and could easily navigate building each course.
Trish is extremely responsive to each homework assignment and challenges you to "think" your way through solutions rather than just give you the quick way out.
If you're willing to put in the time, effort, you will come out with a wealth of knowledge to help you in your Working Equitation course riding and designing goals.
I'm happy I did."

"As a WE competitor and licensed official candidate, I found Course Design Camp to be amazingly beneficial and fun!
I went into the camp thinking that I might not be any good at designing courses since there are SO many things to think about.
By the end, I was feeling much more confident in my ability to design rideable courses, adapt courses as needed based on restrictions that may come up, and very importantly: accurately GRID my courses so that I know what to expect when it comes time to set them!
From the perspective of a rider and future judge, I gained a lot from considering how the courses should change as we go up the levels, and how they might need to be ridden or judged differently.
Thanks so much Trish for putting this course together!!
I highly recommend it to anyone involved with working equitation.
