Respect and Control
One Day Clinic -
Without respect and control on the ground, horses can be dangerous. This clinic is for horses of all ages. You will learn how to lay a solid training foundation for your horse with basic desensitizing exercises to decrease spookiness and increase confidence. You will learn and implement primary exercises to gain control of your horse’s movement and increase his respect for you. You will also learn techniques for improving your horse’s flexibility and building his trust.
Ride with Confidence Clinic
Series 1
One day clinic -
Horses are wonderful teachers because they are sensitive and immediate in their response to us. We will look at how our attitudes about life, ourselves and others can affect our riding both positively and negatively. During the riding session we gain firsthand experience of how our attitudes and intentions are reflected back to us by our horse. Thus, by using the horse almost as a mirror, we can learn a great deal about the way we inhibit or enhance the horse’s performance. In short, to ride well we need to have a balanced mind. This means being able to focus one’s attention by steadying one’s thoughts and emotions. This will lead you to the ultimate goal – a balanced horse who is a delight to ride. And anyone can attend. Because of the style of the clinic, we can work with all levels of ability from absolute beginners to highly experienced and proficient riders. Everyone has fun and learns from each other.
Ride With Confidence Part 2
Series 2
One day clinic -
Series 2 will build on everything you learned in Series 1. We will start with a quick refresher course from series 1 and move on to an obstacle course. The obstacle course is designed to build confidence and trust between horse and rider.
Clinic locations will be posted once the dates have been determined. We are located on the East side of Houston, so most likely the clinics will be in the Crosby, Baytown area.
