Clinic Focal Points

Forge a Trusted Leadership Connection with Your Horse!

  • Teach your horse to follow you under pressure, guiding their focus and preventing freeze, flee, or fight reactions.

  • Discover how horses think and react, so you can communicate in ways they naturally understand.

  • Build courage and pride in both you and your horse as you conquer challenges you never thought possible.

  • Learn how to consistently create success for both yourself and your horse.

Prerequisites

This clinic meets the prerequiste for the Backcountry Clinic.

There is no requirement to ride your your horse in this clinic - it's perfect for groundwork, colt starting, etc, but bring your hiking boots!

If you fall into one of the following categories, we recommend that you take the Progressive or Foundation Clinic prior to the Trail Obstacle Clinic. This way we can better support support your individual requirements:

  • Have never ridden before
  • Have a horse that you're really struggling with
  • Getting back into horses after an extended absence
  • Want to work on confidence building after a mishap
  • Have a new horse that you want to dig into specifics
