Georgia Dressage & Combined Training Association

Kudzu Klinics

The Kudzu Klinic Program is designed to provide an opportunity for low-cost instruction of correct basics for lower-level riders and their horses. A Trainer or Lecturer is donating their time for the betterment of the sport and enjoyment of our riders.  For example, in a Dressage Ride-A-Test format there will be one to two riders in each 45-minute session, with a maximum of 8 sessions.

Lectures may be given at the clinics. Auditor "walk-ins" are welcome, though pre-registration is required due to COVID and so that the lecturer can bring enough material for all participants.

Requirements:

1.     You must be a GDCTA member to ride.

2.      A copy of a current negative Coggins certificate must be sent with entry.

3.      Riders must include payment with entry to reserve a place in each clinic. Pay online or by check.

4.      All entries must include a signed copy of the GDCTA Hold Harmless agreement.


 Check with organizers for full details.

    Instructor: Beth Stelzleni

    Cavaletti work -  Cavaletti training offers a wide range of benefits for horses across all disciplines. By encouraging rhythm, balance, and coordination, cavaletti exercises help improve a horse’s topline, engage the hindquarters, and enhance overall body awareness. Whether you're training for dressage, eventing, or even trail riding, cavaletti work builds strength and suppleness without overloading the joints. It’s a versatile, low-impact way to develop fitness, focus, and flexibility—making it a valuable tool for every equine athlete.

    • Please note this is at the Academy not at the indoor on Saxon Rd. 
    • Please bring your own chair


    More about Beth

    Beth Stelzleni is a seasoned riding clinician who has successfully competed through the upper levels of both dressage and eventing. With a particular passion for off-the-track Thoroughbreds and green horses, Beth brings a patient, thoughtful approach to training. In 2023, she placed 3rd out of more than 80 horses at the Thoroughbred Makeover in Kentucky, a testament to her ability to bring out the best in young and developing horses. She has had the privilege of learning from respected masters in eventing, dressage, and natural horsemanship, and draws from this diverse background to offer a program focused on slowly and correctly developing the horse and rider—mentally, physically, and emotionally. Her students have gone on to compete successfully at the FEI levels in eventing and earn their medals in dressage, reflecting her commitment to solid foundations and long-term growth.
