Riding Clinic: Back to Basics

This clinic is for anyone riding their horse that wants to build on the basics. You must be comfortable enough to get on and ride your horse around the arena at a walk with other riders on their horses. The morning session we will work on confidence at all three gaits (but you are not required to ride a trot and lope). Wherever you are is where we will meet you. This is a judgement free zone, and we are here to help you and your horse improve wherever you are! We will be assessing what we see-is your tack safe and correct for your horse? Are you sitting safely and properly? While each horse and rider have their own unique issues, we will work on the basics of horsemanship in the saddle. Are you the leader and does your horse trust you? Otherwise, we will be working on individual things that each horse and/or rider present. The afternoon session will be working on introducing and maneuvering over obstacles (arena trail course). While we offer a half-day morning session, all afternoon participants must complete the morning session. We all love our pooches, however, we do not allow any unattended dogs. Any dog attending must be completely obedient and at your side or in your lap quiet at all times. No tying dogs while you ride-they MUST be attended to. As for children-we understand that mom's want to have fun on their horses too and sometimes we do not have a choice but to bring the kiddos. Well behaved children can sit and watch, if you need someone to babysit we can most likely accommodate you for an extra fee. Not all ages can be accommodated.
