OEA Schooling Day: Cross Country
Thursday, July 4, 2024
Bronte Creek Equestrian
1694 Centre Road, Hamilton, ON L8N 2Z7
School on the cross-country courses at Bronte Creek Equestrian with clinician, Licensed EC Coach, Judith Bisiker.
Clinician: Judith Bisiker
Judith is a seasoned eventer who has represented Canada at international horse trials at the highest level and now operates Bronte Creek Equestrian. While just out of her teens, Judith competed at the CCI 4* level. At 21, she represented Canada at the Badminton, Burghley, and Windsor Horse Trials.
By the early 1980s, she was long listed to become a team member of the Canadian Olympic Three-Day Event Team. Also in the 1980s, Judith rode as a member of the Canadian team that took second place at the Student’s Nation Cup where she won first place as the top individual rider. Judith is actively involved in Ontario eventing as one of nine Organizers of sanctioned horse trials in the province and as one of three selectors for the OEA U25 Team.
The following principles are at the core of Judith’s approach: provide outstanding care to the horses at Bronte Creek; safety comes first at all times; and offer a teaching style that embraces a positive, calm and methodical approach helping each rider to realize their goals and their potential.
