Let us show you how to be the leader your horse deserves
When you are leading your horse does he stay with you at your shoulder and out of your space or does he drag you, bump into you or worse, are you dragging him? Does he nibble at you looking for treats or worse bite you? Does he stand still when asked or are you chasing him all over the barn? Does he back for you quietly when asked or worse push back and tell you to back up? Does he let you put the bridle on easily or worse raise his head and clamp his teeth shut? Does he let you pick up his feet easily or does he refuse or worse lean on you when you are picking up his feet? Does he stay back nicely when you walk in with his feed or worse does he lay his ears back and come after you for being too slow? Does your horse respect you? Are you safe? Are you happy? Is your horse happy? Come to one or all of our clinics and let us show you how to be a respectable leader, so that you and your horse can be happy and safe.
Horses are herd animals. 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 and classical horsemanship.
Let us show you how to be the rider your horse deserves
Our Level 3 is more for our riders emphasizing the balanced rider position, timing and rhythm of our aids and gaining awareness of how the rider effects the horse's quality of performance.
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 again in the fall.
