CENTERING YOUR HORSE Clinic

This 1-day clinic will help you center your horse and develop greater balance and connection, both on the ground and in the saddle.  Focusing on body awareness, you will develop tools to release tension, increase communication, and improve balance of both horse and rider, to allow the horse to move more comfortably and fluidly under you.  

In the morning, we will work on body awareness exercises and groundwork off the horse.  In the afternoon, riders will integrate these concepts from the saddle. This clinic will help you develop ease, lightness, increased relaxation, and suppleness in your horse that is beneficial in every discipline.
