| Thank
you for your interest in hosting a
clinic. Most of our clinics provide
participants an opportunity to learn
on the ground as well as under saddle.
Most mornings are spent experimenting
through ground exercises, with or
without horses, depending on the type
of clinic. The afternoons consist
of group riding sessions for application
under saddle. Three day clinics generally
allow for one-on-one sessions on the
final day.
Equestrians of all levels and disciplines,
from walk-trot riders to accomplished
competitors should be encouraged to
participate. All clinics are designed
to be safe, enjoyable and educational.
Any and all breeds of horses are welcome
to attend.

needs. Please don't hesitate to contact
me if you have any questions.
