This Horsemanship Clinic will target refining and perfecting the fundamentals of basic horse knowledge: ground work, disengaging the horse’s rear end, knowing when the horse’s mind is ready for you to safely get on their backs, body softness, leg positions, speed control, stops, and most importantly, knowing when to quit. How we end our ride will determine our horse’s mind for the next day.

In this 2 day clinic we will progress to more advanced drills once we have refined our fundamentals. We will work on ourselves, and in return, our horses will get better!

Often times all we need to do is slow down and go back to the basics in order to advance our horsemanship skills. This allows us to perfect our angles, our timing, and our communication with our horses. Once we have refined those basic principles, we then can advance to increased speed and complexity of our riding. The rider should be able to lope on a loose rein in both directions with confidence prior to attending this clinic.

This clinic may include, but is not limited to: ground work, round pen work, drills, large arena work, obstacles, flag work.
