Go way beyond riding…being able to read horses is one of the greatest skills a horseman can have.  Stage 1 is where ‘horse savvy’ begins…creating a positive balance of trust and respect, eliminating many common problems and safety issues.  The Stages 1 & 2 Clinics will help you develop a firm understanding of how to achieve respect and safety.  You’ll learn how to play the 7 patterns horses play with one another, break down the prey-predator relationship, create a language with which to communicate and teach your horse things on the ground you want him to understand when you are on his back.

Can you imagine knowing the secrets of control without force, of communication without ropes? This is where the magic of horsemanship starts.  The Clinics based on Stages 3, 4, & 5 take horsemanship into realms far beyond what people do with horses everyday.  Learn to tell the critical difference between a lack of understanding or confidence vs. disrespect and different ways to deal with each.    Advance your skills as you learn: to encourage positive reflexes on the ground and in the saddle.
