Clinic – Obstacle Clinic

One of our most popular workshops! Obstacles Clinic is a clinic that begins with groundwork, followed by riding. Learn a skill set for increasing confidence in even the most skittish horse! It is phenomenal to watch horses grow in bravery as riders improve their communication and leadership skills. There are new and different obstacles at every clinic. Build your horse’s confidence on the ground using obstacles of all kinds.  Learn how to safely introduce new things with your horse or work thru troubles with known obstacle challenges.  This clinic is open to horses of all levels. This year we will also have a mounted team scavenger hunt!

Who is it for? Adults of all levels and disciplines, including young horses or beginning riders/horse handlers. Your horse doesn’t even need to be started under saddle for this class; you can participate on foot or while riding.

What problems does it solve?
Spooking, shying, lack of confidence, and trail sour behavior. Riders learn techniques such as Approach, Retreat, Move the Feet; One-Line Driving; and Protecting your Space, and concepts like Respecting Thresholds, Borrowing Confidence, and Rewarding a Quiet Mind.

I did it! Ozzie and I published!

I did it!  I finally published the story of Ozzie, the horse that changed everything for me!  Ozzie was with me for more than 25 years and is the reason I study horsemanship!  Many of you have met Ozzie, who passed away a year ago.  But few of you know about our early days together.  Ozzie was a challenging horse with a big personality, and I was madly in love with him, even though he was not suitable for me at all.  He would push me and cause chaos wherever he went in his early days.  Thanks to him, I sought out help from a friend who lead me to the path of horsemanship!  And I have never looked back! Don’t forget to get your copy on Amazon.com.
