It
has
often
been

a

has
written to me later on saying,

True
art
is
practiced
in
small,
private
places.
To
insure
the
quality
of
instruction,
the
dressage
school
does
not
accept
more
than
10
apprentices
at
any
given
time.
The apprentice
program
does,
however,
have
a
waiting
list,
so
you
will
need
to
make
your
reservations -
in
advance.
We
will
notify
you

we
have
