Spend two days in beautiful Paso Robles! Just a four hour drive from either San Francisco or Los Angeles, this lot includes a private 2-day clinic with John French, an overnight stay for your horse at the gorgeous Templeton Farms, an overnight stay for you at the Allegretto Vineyard Resort and a gift certificate to the recommended dining establishment Fish Gaucho.

Good for up to two people, includes two rides or lessons over two days.

Truly one of the sport's most natural talents, French has achieved high performance success in both the hunter and jumper disciplines. From representing the United States in Nations Cups and competing at the FEI World Cup Finals over a decade ago to a four-time World Champion Hunter Rider, French was also the winner of the inaugural $100,000 ASG Software Solutions/USHJA International Hunter Derby Finals aboard Rumba. Known for his catch riding abilities, a few more career highlights include a WCHR Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012, 2016 USHJA West Coast Region International Derby Rider of the Year and the 2017 WCHR National Professional Rider Champion. French sits second in the rankings for USHJA Rider Lifetime Money Earned.
