Ingrid was fabulous! Is there anyone in eastern North America who has worked with her and can teach something like she does?

I loved this clinic! I learned a ton, and I love Ingrid's philosophy of training and managing horses. I am wondering if there is any interest (and if it is even possible) to get Ingrid back on an annual basis so there can be some continuity to the clinics and her training methods? What do people think about this?

To have Ingrid come annually wouldn't be feasible! Her fee is incredibly high, plus she is so busy and rarely does clinics! It was a stroke of good fortune to have her! Rarely do these World class clinicians return more than once. But she did tell me that someone to think of having is Christopher Bartels of the Yorkshire Riding Center. This is who Ingrid herself takes lessons from! She said he is an excellent clinician and very humorous! I have heard of him and his sister. They are both topnotch instructors. Chris is also an eventer while his sister Jane is the dressage rider. Ingrid said that she would mention us to him! So I'm rather intriqued by Chris Bartels!

Chris Bartle is the German National Eventing Team Coach--he would be awesome! I think he rode for the British National Dressage Team with a horse called Wily Trout back in the day, before he switched to eventing.
For Vivian: I rode in a clinic with Sinead Halpin (a really great young U.S. eventer) back in July and told her I was hoping to ride in the Ingrid clinic. She mentioned she had a friend who had been a working student for Ingrid at her barn in Germany for a year and loved her, so I will contact Sinead to see if this friend of hers is back in the U.S. and where is he located--he may be a good trainer to contact. Sinead is based in New Jersey, but I'm not sure about the friend (don't even know his name!).
