These are half day clinics that are suitable for young horses who need the basics on the ground as well as aged horses who need to revisit training. Something for everybody!

     This clinic is designed to help the novice equine enthusiast learn about basic body control such as lateral flexion and the more advanced rider who wants a review or is schooling a green horse. We will also get out of the arena and work on common trail issues such as herd bound behavior and barn sour behavior. We will approach common trail obstacles and how to best master them by making the right thing easy for you and your equine partner. This is a fun way to make your horse all he or she can be and is a prerequisite for  more advanced clinics.

      Our popular Back In The Saddle Again event with an all new format.  Something for everyone who wants to advance themselves and their horses.

     This clinic really puts it all together, and whether you just want to experience the fun of working a cow or plan to compete in cutting or reined cow horse events, this clinic has something for everyone.  A prerequisite for this clinic would be a working knowledge of at least intermediate horsemanship. This clinic is not for a beginner or   green horse. This is a fun-filled action packed clinic that starts with a brief review of horsemanship especially as it applies to roll backs and stops! We move on quickly to working the flag and live cattle. You may be asked to turn back or run cattle up the lane, we will keep you busy and smiling all day.  Deposit is non refundable unless clinic is cancelled. We will gladly credit your account if you are unable to attend.
