Successful Clinic with Jaimey Irwin
IWE enjoyed a very successful clinic with Canadian Grand Prix dressage rider & coach Jaimey Irwin. We had 8 lessons each day and all horse & rider teams improved tremendously throughout the weekend. Jaimey is excellent at explaining things and our auditors also learned alot. It was without a doubt a very educational weekend for everyone! Thank you to Jaimey Irwin for coming over and the excellent teaching! It was a true pleasure!

Dressage Clinic with Canadian Grand Prix Dressage Rider & Trainer Jaimey Irwin.
Jaimey will be conducting a two day dressage clinic Sep 14-16 at Island Wide Equestrian. Lessons will be 45 minute private sessions. We have a variety of different riders and horses schooled at different levels and working towards different goals. It promises to be a wonderful learning experience. Clinics this caliber are very rarely given in PEI so it’s a unique opportunity to enjoy and learn from quality teaching and watch our Island dressage riders work their horses.
Jaimey’s system of training comes directly from the German legends of classical dressage. He trained in Germany with Holger Münstermann, the well-known World Cup competitor, who himself…trained with the highly respected masters: Reiner Klimke, Willi Schultheis, and Harry Boldt.
Jaimey teaches clinics throughout Canada, the USA, and Barbados. In 2011, he coached Roberta Morris and Tina Irwin to Team Silver Medal at the Pan American Games in Mexico and individual top five placing.

Another Successful Jump Clinic!
This past weekend, we had another successful jump clinic at IWE. Most of our boarders rode in lessons where we focused on flat warm up, gymnastics, and jumping a course. It was great to see the improvement our riders had made since the last jump clinic. It was a great day with many happy faces!
