After a resounding success with his clinic here at Red Hawk Ranch in the Southern California wine region of Temecula, Alfredo has agreed to make this is clinicing “home-base” when coming down this far south.

Alfredo worked with 10 horse/rider combinations from 1 year of training to former Olympian here at Red Hawk Ranch on July 24th and 25th.

 Participants were so happy with his help that the next two clinics are currently wait-listed.

 Says Red Hawk Ranch manager, Lynn Randle-DeGour, “Alfredo is the type of clinicianer who pulls something new out of his hat with each horse/rider combination he deals with.  We saw fresh approaches and solid training scale reminders work to make each horse better.”

The earliest available date for the next clinic is a Friday/Saturday clinic, December 18/19.  But, Red Hawk Ranch is now on his regular schedule for future clinics, with the followup scheduled for February 6/7.  All clinics are Friday/Saturday dates.  He limits participation to 10 horse/rider combinations.
