The Online Riders Collective is a new organization founded by Alice Bruno and Jess Clawson, aiming to help riders comply with COVID-19 safety measures while still improving their riding.
The Collective’s primary project is Clinics for a Cause. Top professionals across disciplines have kindly offered their time to critique your own riding videos. Professionals continue to be added to the list! You can send in up to 15 minutes of riding in one video for $40, and a portion of proceeds benefit the Equestrian Aid Foundation — a foundation assisting people in the equestrian world coping with catastrophic injury or illness.
