Clinic Information
These clinics are two-day clinics. One day (Saturday) is also available. Day one is focusing on groundwork, obstacles and confidence building. Day two will be a refresher of day one and more riding/ground exercises. This is a tentative schedule - we all know what happens when you give horses a schedule to abide by! We do welcome younger horses and this is a great way to prepare them for riding later.
The obstacles your horses will be working over would be our box, discs (think Bosu ball), noise teeter totter, side to side teeter and barrels. Each obstacle helps the horse think about where they are putting their feet and helps solidify your “whoa”.
NEW FOR 2026 - Desensitizing (tail tarp, cones and flags) will be an extra fee of $75. If you are interested, it will be a case by case basis and done after the first day of the clinic.
LEVEL 2 CLINICS - These clinics will have a short refresher of our Confidence Clinic. We will focus more on lateral movement, shoulder control, leg cues and softness.
Start time 9:00 am Saturday. We will meet without horses at first. There will be a registration table set up, so try to get there a little bit early to get paperwork in order.
Please have lead rope, halter (rope - preferably), saddle and pad. There will be an option to ride, but not mandatory. Most exercises can be done on the ground as well as in the saddle.
Trailer parking will be tight, so please be courteous when parking. If you need assistance, please feel free to ask.
