In their world the leader is in charge and everyone else follows. The leader decides where we go, when we go, how fast we go, when we stop, when we eat and the leader is always looking ahead planning the path, scanning and thinking. At our clinics we help riders to understand how to communicate with their horses emphasizing on the herd instinct and the "horse rules." Our methods are a blend of natural & classical horsemanship. Let us show you how to be the rider your horse deserves Our clinics are now in 4 different stages because not all horse/riders are at the same levels. Start with Kindergarten and work your way up to Level 3 or come audit a clinic and bring your horse next time. All 4 clinics will be offered in the spring and in the fall.

Our Kindergarten Clinics will focus on ground manners and the ground work we need to do to get ready to ride. This clinic is for young or green horses or beginner riders. We start off in the morning all together and then during the lunch time hours, each horse will work individually. Individual work could include first saddling, learning to lunge, or first mounting. Our goals: -----------------Communicate with our horses in their language. -----------------The "horse rules" and why they are important. -----------------Become confident, trustworthy, respectable leaders. -----------------Give our horses the leadership they need to be happy and relax so that we can be safe and have fun. Our Level 1 Clinics are also for green horses and/or beginner riders. We start off first thing in the morning with ground work. We will first make sure that we have obedient and responsive horses while our feet are still safely on the ground During the lunch time hours, each horse/rider will work individually either on the ground or under saddle depending on what they want or need.

Testimonials from some of our riders Hi Terry, Just wanted to drop a quick line saying that your clinic on Saturday was fantastic! :) I have really missed participating over the last year or so - but didn't realize HOW MUCH I MISSED COMING until I was there again this weekend. Keeping Boone sound has been a struggle - but when/if I get him sound or I get a 2nd horse - I will definitely be coming to more lessons and clinics :) Thanks for having me and thanks for helping everyone like you do :) -Heidi Seifert from Shippensburg, PA ************************************************************************************************************************ "Who would ever believe this is the same pushy, ill mannered yearling I started bringing down there just a summer ago? Pretty good results with the Shrake/Peiper methods, I think!! Can't wait for the clinic! Hoping for decent weather!!"

The Level 1 clinic on May 19th was just awesome! You provided me with the basics I needed. Such simple things can make a huge difference. I really appreciate the use of your 'rhythm collector' and can't wait to use one in my own training routine. I expect to be back later in the year to continue on to a Level 2 clinic. See you then!"
