The next Loma Fowler Dressage Clinic will be held on April 17 & 18 (Thursday & Friday) at Pony Express Stables.  Pony Express Stables is located behind the HEB shopping center in Leon Springs. This is a change from the original location at Diamond M Horsepark in Marion in an effort to be more central for members of the ADA.  Rides are $125/45min private.  Semi-private available.  There is very limited stabling available on a first come basis.  There is also a $10/all day trailer-in fee. If you would like more information about Loma Fowler please visit her website at www.lomadressage.com.
