The highlight of Harpole’s Heartland Lodge’s Horse Event is the hands-on clinic designed to enhance participants’ understanding of basic horsemanship. Whether you’re a novice rider or an experienced equestrian, this clinic covers fundamental principles that lay the groundwork for horsemanship. From mastering the art of communication in the saddle to refining your cues and body language, the clinic offers a personalized and supportive learning environment.
Groundwork: Building Trust and Connection
Participants will engage in exercises that enhance communication, establish boundaries, and deepen the bond with their equine companions. These foundational groundwork skills not only contribute to a more cooperative riding experience but also foster a stronger connection between horse and rider.
Horse Care: Nurturing Well-being
Understanding the importance of holistic horsemanship, we will cover the essential aspects of horse care. From grooming techniques and tacking to basic health care and nutrition, participants gain valuable insights into ensuring the well-being of their horses. The emphasis on horse care goes beyond the clinic, empowering riders to be conscientious caretakers of their equine partners.
