Never before, the two World Champions have worked together in public and Lipica is extremely proud to host this premiere!
Boyd Exell will focus on the new FEI Driven Dressage tests for Horse Pairs, Pony Pairs and Pony Teams. Boyd will be assisted by international level 4 World Championship Judge Andrew Counsell from Great Britain. During the two-day clinic, Andrew and Boyd will mix theoretical and practical parts and will give to the participants the update on the changes in the FEI Driving Rules which have come into effect on 1st January 2022.
Martin Hölle has great memories of Lipica where he won his first World title in 2017. Martin is very happy to attend this clinic and to play an important role as a horse pair driver. “I look very much forward to working with Boyd. I think it is very good to have this clinic and to focus on the new FEI dressage tests. The timing is excellent, just before the new season starts so we can put everything we learn in Lipica to practice immediately in the first competition. I am also looking forward to hearing Andrew Counsell’s opinion and his presentation on the changes in the FEI Driving Rules.”
