In any discipline, to be great you must first master the fundamentals, and these two clinics are FULL of them! This unique event offers two separate clinics in our popular small group format. Course 1 will run in the morning, and Course 2 in the afternoon.
In Course 1 you'll learn to establish an effective communication on the ground and under saddle to safely create a willing partner.
Course 2 explores a deeper understanding of prey animal psychology and physiology to uncover how influencing the horse’s bend and balance can create relaxation in movement, both on the ground and riding.
