Clinic Description
Our Lessons Clinic is fantastic for Problem Solving, Goal Achieving, Young Horses or simply having a “check up”. This Clinic is run a little different to our other clinics – in that Ben will take each participant with their horse for 1-on-1 sessions in the roundpen. This means they can address exactly where each horse/owner is at and work through any problems or goals the rider would like to work on. While each participant has their sessions, the other participants are watching and learning. Ben finds this an incredible way to run these clinics as each horse is so varied as to what level they are at and what problems or goals they need to work on. Participants learn during both the hands-on sessions as well as watching the others working with their horses that they may progress to at a later stage.
This Clinic is suitable for horses who may have problems, holes in their foundational training, green horses, foal or young horses or people with specific goals they would like help addressing.
