Jane Critchley Dressage

Today we had another great clinic with Charlotte Wittbom Denstone Stud.

Charlotte is very excited to bring the following event to our region and offered these words

‘This is a unique opportunity to meet a great master. We don’t create people like Colonel Carde anymore’

We are booked hope to see lots of you there…promises to be a very special event 🩵

Thank you, Stephen, for your kindness, generosity, encouragement and unwavering passion for dressage. You inspired so many and I feel fortunate to have known you. Your impact on our sport has been immense and you leave a lasting legacy that will continue to influence generations to come. Rest in peace 🕊️
