Contest winner Liza Green and nine friends spent the day learning from renowned eventers Jim Wofford and Sharon White in a uniquely formatted clinic.
First things first: Who’s got a coin?” Jim Wofford asked the small gathering of spectators. A legendary eventer and highly sought-after coach, Jim was set to begin an unconventional day of co-teaching with international four-star rider Sharon White. The chummy duo had traveled halfway across the country to teach Practical Horseman’s Win A Day Clinic, sponsored by Kent Nutrition Group in mid-August. The coin toss would determine which clinician would talk solely about the horses and who would focus on the riders. Jim and Sharon agreed to take turns, switching perspectives back and forth for each of the three sessions.
More than 400 applicants entered the contest by explaining why they thought they should win a day of coaching from the equestrian idols for themselves and nine friends, but Liza Green ultimately stood out. Though dedicated to her eventing education, Liza, like many adult amateurs, has a full plate as a mother to four energetic girls and as a full-time pediatric rehabilitation doctor. A longtime self-proclaimed “fan girl” of Jim, Liza was thrilled to have him and Sharon visit her in southeast Michigan, where there aren’t many opportunities to train with clinicians of their caliber. Liza explained that she’s read Jim’s books and columns and listened to his video commentary.
