Brooks Alberta, The Brooks Pony Club held thier AGM to discuss the direction of the club in 2012. One decision lead to naming Lyle Peterman of Olds Alberta the clubs jumping advisor. Lyle is now scheduled to teach one (2 day) clinic a month to help the club with it’s jumping program. “I made the trip down a few times for clinics in 2011 and felt that all the club members benifited from the extra help and made improvents” said Peterman. “I  am really excited to continue working them on regular basis” Lyle enjoys teaching clinics across the province and hopes to be even more busy with clinics in 2012. “I have a few scheduled in Lethbridge, and talks with a barn near Edmonton” If your club or barn wishes to organize a jumping clinic in 2012 email equestrianplanet@gmail.com for more details.
