Wellman describes her popular cavaletti sys- tem and explains how it can improve strength and accuracy for horses in all disciplines. Wellman opened By Chance Farm in Frederick County in 2002. T e
70-acre facility hosts multiple dressage schooling shows each year and a weekend USDF Licensed and USEF Recognized dressage show in late July. By Chance also hosts schooling shows once a month from March through October. Wellman’s cavaletti clinics are once a month, year- round, and they are open to horses and riders of all levels and ability. By Chance schooling shows and clinics regularly sell out, so sign up early on Strider or
