About our clinician: Carol McArdle grew up in Europe riding jumpers and eventing, and in Germany learning the "German System" of classical equitation. After receiving degrees in Zoology and Biochemistry, she trained under Jim Wofford, Jack LeGoff, and Bruce Davidson, subsequently returning to Europe to compete for the USET. She trained with Christopher Bartle for several years, moving to pure dressage under his tutelage in the French Classical system. Carole competed Grand Prix in Europe, and was short listed for the World Games and the Olympics. She was reserve rider for the Seoul Olympics and long listed for the Barcelona Olympics. After competing for many years, Carol focused on understanding and learning the similarities and differences between the French, the German, and the Iberian Classical systems. She was a student at the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art in Jerez, Spain in 2003 and was a student of two of the riders from the Portuguese School of Equestrian Art. |
