Our Favorite Clinics:
Motivate Your Horse - Love your horse but not sure he loves you? Find out what your horse is really interested in. Reveal his character. Act as partners - become playtime for him and he will be playtime for you. Use clicker training to teach him to offer desirable behaviors. Go from squeezing, kicking, spanking, and pleading to beautiful canter departs, effortless jumping, and frustration-free circles. See your horse's motivation soar!
Lightness and Responsiveness Without Fear - Does your horse rush jumps, take off with you, kick out going into the canter, cut corners, refuse to bend, lean in on the lunge, take the wrong lead, take a funny hop going into the trot, cross fire, kick at the farrier, carry her head in the air or on the ground, rush at the trot, or refuse to leave the gate? If your horse does these things, you will likely be surprised to learn that you do not have a training problem. You have a pain or balance problem. Pain causes 95% of emotional issues in horses and most emotional issues are misperceived as lack of training. Get tips on rebalancing your horse and developing his postural alignment. Test ride alternative tack. Learn riding exercises that are both diagnostic and restorative. If your horse is not fun to ride, chances are he is in pain and there is a very simple solution.
Playing on the Trail - Trail walks are one of the best ways to avoid the ugly "phase-4", "battle-of-wills" moments that often accompany training a horse. Migrating with your horse in beautiful scenery is a natural way to develop a beautiful partnership with established boundaries. The trail is full of natural obstacles like fallen logs, narrow trees, and sagebrush slaloms, making it a wonderful horse playground and agility course. Learn how to balance the yin and yang aspects of your horse's training to create a relationship that instills you and your horse with feelings of peace and joy.
