Mini-clinic prior to the GP Special:
Jan Brink did a “mini-clinic” on Sunday morning prior to the Grand Prix Special. Jan talked to the audience and SVT about the Grand Prix Special and the difficulties in the test. Then Ida-Linn & Dan Brown rode the test as a ginuea pig and Jan commented throughout the test to increase the knowledge and interest of dressage for the audience. It was very appreciated and the audience were also able to judge themselves during the test.
