| Calling All Area IV Barns & Instructors! |
One of the most frequent questions I get as Area Chair is "I am moving to Area IV and was wondering if you could give me the name of a barn and instructor". Therefore I am trying to compile a list of Area IV barns and instructors so that when people call or email I have information available. I will pass this information on to the next Area Chair also. SO...........if you would all be so kind to send the following information to me at stokerbeth@hotmail.com I would really appreciate it.
Barn Name/Instructor Name
General Location of your barn or Area that you teach in (ie. metro area & state)
Contact information
Thank you,
Beth Stoker

| ICP Teaching of Dressage Workshop Offered in Area IV |
Tim and Cheryl Holekamp of New Spring Farm will host a Level I/II Teaching of Dressage ICP Workshop at William Woods University in Fulton, MO April 16th through18th.
Robin Walker will lead the workshop and candidate instructors, auditors and demo riders are sure to benefit from Robin's great eye, quick wit and engaging presentation style. William
Woods is contributing its beautiful new Rowland Arena plus an excellent array of riders and horses for demo teaching.
Each day of the ICP Workshop will involve lecture, discussion, faculty model teaching, and candidate instructor practice teaching in front of the ICP faculty member and the other candidate instructors attending the Workshop. The Workshops encourage open communication between instructors and are an excellent learning environment for even the most experienced instructor. The sharing of ideas, exercises and
communication techniques between instructors will give you a fresh start and renewed energy for the upcoming season. The ICP culture is very much on display at this workshop and serves not only to educate but also to bond teachers and riders together.
