A masterclass in riding

After a long year preparing for the World Equestrian Games, professional showjumper Patrick Nisbett will be returning to Bermuda to give back to the equestrian community.

Nisbett will be giving clinics to local equestrians to pass on some of his expertise to young riders and adults. 

The Bermuda Horse and Pony Association (BHPA) have organized the clinics, which start this Saturday.

Bermuda Equestrian Foundation spokesman McKeisha Smith said: “Patrick’s return home to give clinics has been a long time coming and we are very pleased he has found the time to return and share his knowledge with our membership.”

Jumper

Nisbett will be preparing riders for next Saturday’s Bermuda Horse and Pony Association’s Jumper Series, in which junior and adult riders compete in showjumping. 

Nisbett will be coaching the riders who take advantage of his clinics the week before. The Jumper Series will round out 2010, which has already been a very busy year for the sport. 

The BHPA welcomes spectators to come and watch a thrilling day of horse and pony jumping at the National Equestrian Centre, Vesey Street, Devonshire.

The first class starts at 9:30 am.
