October 31, 2005 – Uxbridge, Ontario – Greenbrier Farm, a 160-acre eventing training facility in Uxbridge, ON, will host a clinic with two-time Olympic Team Gold Medallist Phillip Dutton of Australia on Sunday, November 27, and Monday, November 28.

Held in Greenbrier Farm’s large indoor arena, the first day will concentrate on show jumping techniques while day two will focus on cross-country. A maximum of 25 participants will be accepted, and auditors are also welcome for a fee of $20. Dutton, who is based in Pennsylvania, is North America’s leading event rider as well as being a member of the victorious Australian Olympic Team in 1996 and 2000.

“This clinic offers an opportunity to work with one of the top riders in the world,” said Nicole Shinton, currently a long listed member of the Canadian Eventing Team who works with Dutton on a part-time basis. “His system for training horses and riders has produced amazing results. His own competition record speaks for itself, and the results of his students – Will Faudree, Heidi White and William Coleman just to name a few, are equally impressive. You can learn something from Phillip no matter what level you are riding at. He is very good at analyzing horses quickly and developing strategies for improvement. And he's always thinking of the bigger picture in terms of what will improve the horses over the long term as they move up the levels.”

In addition to the clinic with Dutton, Greenbrier Farm is also planning to host a second clinic with current Olympic Champion Leslie Law of Great Britain in December. Once details are confirmed, they will be posted at www.greenbrierfarm.net.

Greenbrier Farm, one of Canada’s premier eventing facilities, is home to 2004 United States Eventing Association (USEA) Intermediate Adult Amateur Rider of the Year, Nicole Shinton. Shinton and her husband, Alan, operate Greenbrier Farm, which includes a 23-stall barn, indoor and outdoor riding arenas, and an intermediate level cross-country course with two water complexes.
