The Foundation & Finesse clinic is based on Dressage Naturally’s signature concepts and popular DN online courses. Students will benefit from theory, discussions, simulations, groundwork, and of course riding. If you want to learn new ways to work with your horse to find a place of cooperation and ease in your riding, this clinic is for you! Michelle is the only Licensed Dressage Naturally Instructor in Canada.For more information, and to register, contact Brooklyn Rae Greig at [email protected].
Michelle will guide you through exercises to find better biomechanics and introduce gymnastic training to help you find more freedom of movement and strength. Concepts and exercises will be introduced at a foundational level and then progressed towards a more finessed version to help meet each horse and student where they are at. Michelle treats each student and horse as an individual and is one of the reasons her clinics have an eight rider maximum, allowing for a more intimate experience with plenty of time for questions and one on one attention. Michelle is passionate about helping you create more connection, understanding and healthy movement with your horse!
Concepts introduced in the Foundation & Finesse clinic:
- How to combine the principles of dressage and natural horsemanship to give you the best of both worlds.
- How to create healthy biomechanics while strengthening the partnership you have with your horse.
- How to cause your horse to be relaxed, energized, balanced, and free.
- How to fill in foundational holes to improve your communication and confidence.
- How to take the sweet spot into gymnastic exercises.
- Understanding flexibility, mobility and collectibility exercises.
- How to trust your instincts, learn independently and become a more confident rider.
The Foundation & Finesse Clinic will be a small group clinic that includes theory, on the ground simulations, in hand groundwork with horses and under saddle lessons. This clinic is for any and all types of rider disciplines and is for anyone who is interested in having a horse that is easier to ride, improving their biomechanics and gymnastic skills, and developing a partnership of both physical and mental ease with their horse.
During this clinic we will have A and B groups that rotate. Students will be matched with the group that is most appropriate for what they are working on with their horse and their previous experience with Dressage Naturally.
