The German and American Hanoverian Societies invite to sponsored clinics: Hans-Heinrich Meyer zu Strohen continues his successful series of dressage clinics in different states throughout the US

Germany as the world's leading dressage country currently holds all championshiptitles. German riders on German bred horses seem invincible. The Hanoverian studbook won the WBCSH rankings in the team and individually again in 1998.

The German Hanoverian Society, in cooperation with the American Hanoverian Society,wants to spread this thorough knowledge of schooling horses to higher level dressage in the US. The German Hanoverian Society is the most successful breeding association in the world and at the marketing and sales centre in Verden, between Hanover and Bremen, many internationally successful horses started their career at one of the Verden auctions. Young dressage and show jumping prospects from the Verden auctions are sold all over the world to earn laurels in all disciplines of equestrian sports (e.g. Willy the Great, Graf George, Walk on Top).

Hans-Heinrich Meyer zu Strohen is principal of the state riding school of Lower Saxony. He has been an auction rider for many years. Besides his own competition successes at highest level he schooled many horses and riders to Grand Prix level.

The clinics are an unique chance for ambitious riders to improve their skills and the dressage performances of their horses.
