Spend a long weekend taking the fundamentals of Natural Horsemanship to the saddle Due to Julia's varied background training horses, she has been able to assist each individual student with their specific needs, and to work with the learning they are pursuing at home. The main focus of the clinic is not to teach Julia's specific methods, but to use those methods to help the student get a better understanding of horse psychology and how it ties into all riding methods. |

During the clinic we will use the principles of
Natural Horsemanship to take you to the next level in your riding.
We will ride constantly, and the sheer amount of time in the saddle will break loose some of the key road blocks standing in your way. You will learn the basics of communication, both in the saddle and out of it, which will lay the ground work for better understanding between horse and rider, and pave the way for you to truly be your horse's trusted leader. Format of the Clinic Every morning we will ride on trails. The way your horse's body deals with the ups and downs of the terrain provides an irreplacable teaching opportunity. I will be able to clearly and concisely teach you how to ride as one with your horse. |

Each
afternoon we will go to
the arena to learn how to use Pressure and Release in your training
process. We will apply the principles learned in the morning to the
afternoon, giving you and opportunity to either rebuild your riding
from the ground up or to advance your current knowledge.
Or… I can come to you. |
| My most amazing feedback
Sent 05/03/2006 Thank you for the wonderful weekend. I would not have learned as much as I did in my visit in a year full of 1 hr lessons. I will definitely recommend you to others! Donna W., NJ Sent 03/11/07 My horse Goose developed serious COPD issues (he’s 21 this year) and has been effectively retired, but still my sweetheart. Very frustrated as I’m feeling better and want to do things, but still on restricted activities (although I was chasing loose horses 10 days after surgery, buggers took apart a galvanized fence and went on an adventure, probably due to boredom). I think of you, Hanna & Nick often, would like to come back Sept-Oct if you’re up to clinics…can’t wait to show you how well you’ve taught me, not to mention that I felt more at home 3 days in KS than an entire lifetime in NJ ! |

| When Goose became unrideable, I hopped on Fargo , my daughter’s
sensitive horse, despite her screaming “He’s going to kill you!” and he
was amazing….floating at all gaits, as responsive to cues, maybe more
so than I remember B’Dub was. Spent summer & fall riding often,
got all my ol’lady muscles into shape, dropped 20 lbs….OMG… now I have
to start all other this Spring! And I just can’t wait!
Photo of me on Fargo for the 1st time last October……He’s 17+ hands & chubby (ah, the life of an overindulged NE horse!) Donna W., NJ | |
