Our Trainers
The Racing program at Ohio Dreams has been carefully developed by our head racing instructors who have traveled around the country teaching clinics and camps and developing the best programs available. Our instructors are some of the few instructors in the country who have the unique experience of teaching literally thousands of clinics and camps and working with riders of all ages and skill levels.

Our instruction is based on the teaching method:

Explain; what we are doing, why we are doing it and how to do it
Demonstrate; the specific skill
Perform – Feedback cycle; riders attempt the skill; instructors provide feedback and tips and riders continue to work on the skill

Campers will take home...
