From Clinic Host Christine Rodick:
I am honored to be hosting my friend Melanie Smith Taylor for a clinic in Athens on September 6 and 7. This will be a wonderful experience for equestrians of every level. Our goal is to create a welcoming and supportive environment in which to learn.

While Melanie's early career and Gold Medal were defined by the jumping tradition, her clinics often include horsemen and women from many disciplines. I have seen hunters, classical dressage and 3-day folks, as well as those working in the vaquero tradition, make beautiful progress with Melanie.
In addition to a variety of jumps, she will be doing flatwork and focusing on the connection between the horse and rider from the ground, as well as in the saddle. We will arrange the participants into groups of 7 or 8. Group assignments will be based on a discussion with the participant and/or trainer, and will take into consideration the level of the horse and the rider.
Melanie worked with Ray Hunt and continues to honor his tradition at her clinics and with her approach to complete horsemanship. You can learn more about Melanie at her website:
