Format
An Immersive Experience
This clinic will run in a half-day format.
Private clinics like this offer direct coaching from Jonathan, group learning, as well as a front row seat to observe others being coached, and time to practice in between.
Participants will be broken into two groups and will remain in their respective group for all 3 days:
Group 1 (AM)
Group 2 (PM)
*Please note - to respect the privacy of all participants, video recording is not permitted during the clinic.
What To Expect
Ground Skills + Riding
To keep the clinic running smooth and help you get the most out of each session, please come prepared based on the daily focus below:
Day One - 80% Ground / 20% Riding. The morning session will be exclusively groundwork (no saddles).
Day Two - 50% Ground + 50 % Riding Arrive saddled. The session will likely be half groundwork / riding.
Day Three - More Riding: Arrive saddled. Short ground warm-up, then more riding.
*The daily balance of groundwork and riding may shift based on the needs of the horses and riders in attendance.
If you're looking to develop a
connected partnership with your horse
