Montana native Greg Eliel is part of a rare group of horsemen who studied firsthand with Tom & Bill Dorrance, Ray Hunt, and Buck Brannaman. His teaching carries forward their legacy with clarity, depth, and heart.
Greg is a wonderful horseman and teacher. He will take the time to help each person learn at their level and learning style. Many of the clinic participants have been coming back every year to keep progressing. All disciplines, from casual riders to competitive show riders and professionals, can benefit from a clinic with Greg.
Morning class will be Horsemanship 1: Immersion
The Immersion phase focuses on foundational groundwork to help create a relaxed, responsive, and mentally available horse. You’ll learn how your horse processes information and how to communicate using feel—laying the groundwork for a balanced and willing partnership. As these principles transition to the saddle, you’ll begin to see the benefits of true softness, with your horse responding to the lightest suggestion. With this shared language, both horse and rider can begin to work together in greater harmony—no matter the discipline.
NEW Afternoon class: Working Equitation
The sport of working equitation broadens a horse’s scope and teaches him to be a good partner in any equine sport you care to pursue. It is especially good for improving dressage skills. The obstacle course is not only fun, but it sharpens your aids and basics like bending, leg yields and transitions.
Greg's clinic format includes flatwork and dressage fundamentals, as well as working obstacles that will:
· Create precision and fluidity in transitions
· Develop collection and balance
· Establish rhythm of gaits
· Build confidence and harmony
· Improve hindquarter and shoulder engagement
Working equitation welcomes competitors from every breed and discipline and all riding levels.
