This entertaining "all-levels" clinic in our popular small-group format is sure to keep you and your horse on your toes thinking ahead! 

Designed for confident and competent riders and their best horse, this clinic features fun challenges, creative tasks, and perhaps a little mayhem along the way. Put your partnership and skills to the test. There's no telling what Jonathan will pull out of his sleeve for this event! 

CLINIC OUTLINE

  • Test your teaching - learn creative ways to check if your horse truly understands your communication.
  • Explore how using a purpose can bring out your horse's athletic ability without force.
  • Learn how to "stretch the elastic band" with your horse mentally and physically to create a stronger connection
  • Improve your balance and coordination as a rider and have a ton of fun along the way!
✴ Each clinic has a different dynamic of people and horses. Some lessons may be focused on more than others, including some not mentioned here. If one of these goals is important to you, please mention so at the beginning of the clinic.
