                                         SPANISH RIDING SCHOOL SENIOR RIDER
                                         HERWIG RADNETTER DRESSAGE CLINIC:
                                                           AUGUST 8 - 9, 2008

One of the world’s best classical horsemen will be in Eastern Iowa for a two-day
dressage clinic this summer. A clinic with Senior Rider Herwig Radnetter of the
Spanish Riding School of Vienna will be held at Shellhaven Farm in Mount Vernon,
Iowa, August 8 and 9.
    Radnetter joined the Spanish Riding School of Vienna as an apprentice referred to
as an eleve at the age of 15. Now a Senior Rider at the School, he is an integral part of all the training and
performances. In his spare time away from the School, he is a much sought-after clinician and has trained a
number of riders in various parts of the world. Currently, he is working in the United States and England as well
as Austria. He is an exceptional communicator, who is passionate about maintaining the classical traditions of
training within the context of the modern world.
    As host of the event, the Iowa Lipizzan Association, Inc. is thrilled to bring someone of Radnetter’s stature
to Iowa. Shellhaven Farm is an exceptional facility, but the clinic will be somewhat limited in the number of
people who can ride and audit. Therefore, if you are interested in riding or participating (auditing), contact
Rachel Wehrheim of the Iowa Lipizzan Association (see address and phone below).
    Registration for the clinic may be completed online at: www.ialipizzan.org or via regular mail. For
information, please contact Rachel Wehrheim at 319-624-2546 or ialipizzan@yahoo.
