Ian Stark Eventing Clinic
Ian Stark, OBE: 4 Time Olympic Medalist, Multiple World Champion, 3 Time Badminton Winner, Olympic Coach, Master Course Designer. ONE OF A KIND!!!
We are very excited to have Ian return to Kennewick. Here are some unsolicited comments from past clinic participants:
I thoroughly enjoyed the lessons and the format of the clinic. He truly is a world class instructor. I really appreciated his easy-going demeanor, his communication and how he worked with each student at their level of confidence.
That was one of the best clinics I have been to and I have been to many. Ian Stark was awesome and I loved his teaching style and personality. I of course am a big fan of his and have watched him for years and he was everything I hoped for and more.
I just wanted to thank you again for hosting such a wonderful clinic this past weekend. Not only did you manage to get perfect weather, but your facility was outstanding with no detail left out…..I'm always a bit skeptical riding with a new clinician, but Ian was true to form-- a gentleman and an outstanding horseman! Without a doubt the BEST clinic I've ridden in! Had the fee been twice what you charged, it would have been worth it!
