The two-day clinic, booked out within a matter of hours, was organised by Yass’s own international eventing competitor, Natalie Blundell (on horse).
Tinney coached riders in both dressage and cross country riding.
“We had a great two days with Stuart,” Natalie Blundell said following the event.
“We all got a lot out of it!”
Tinney will find out on June 20 if he and his horse, Pluto Mio, have earned a place in the Australian eventing team for the Rio Olympics.
The sixteen riders at the clinic came from the Yass Valley and beyond, including Wagga, Canberra and Cowra.
“Murrumbateman is a brilliant course to bring through young horses and the equestrian community is so lucky to have such an accessible place to ride for pleasure or train for competition in eventing but also other disciplines,” Natalie concluded.
