backcountry - Amazing Horse Country

Trail training with a 1 on 1 focus.

We get out and explore new and technical trails while working on the things you and your horse need to be a confident team.

Our clinics are about having FUN with your horse, increasing your skill and enhancing your relationship with your horse through the application of solid horsemanship principles.

Our BackCountry Workshop is in many ways, like the Progressive Horsemanship, but on the trail. With a small group of up to 6 participants, we focus on the individual needs of every horse and rider. We spend the majority of our time riding out, exploring trails and various obstacle and trail scenarios. We're always back at the ranch for lunch and generally wrap the day up around 4PM. Like all our workshops, you can camp out by your horse pen or stay in our accommodations. We don't camp out in the bush 😀.

Clinic Focal Points

Learning how to camp out with your horse (feed, care, high-lining, etc)
Exposing your horse to a various environmental, trail and realistic scenarios
Hill work, various terrain, wide and narrow trails
Working with obstacles with a high degree of precision

Prerequisites:

To attend this clinic, please ensure you are comfortable walking and trotting on your horse. If you or your horse have specific issues you'd like to focus on, or you are not comfortable riding your horse, plan to attend a Progressive Horsemanship Clinic first so we can work 1 on 1 to help you out.
This clinic is intended to be Part II to the Connected Clinic, which is Part I. That said:
- You must have attended a clinic at Amazing Horse Country within the last 3 years.
- You should be comfortable practicing our style of horsemanship.
- The horse you bring has preferably been in a clinic with us.
