Thursday-   " Rythm, Tempo & Footfall" - From basic manuevers to developing advanced skills with your trail horse, this workshop will  help you with the importance of improving your rythm, developing a tempo and understanding footfall and how all of these areas can affect the relationship with your horse. (ground & riding session)

Friday  - "Less is More "-  Begin to advance your level of communication with your horse from the ground and in the saddle.  Take focus, feel & timing to the next level for you and your horse.  Understand how little it takes to reach your goals of communication and to be able to translate your thoughts and desired actions to your horse. (ground & riding session)

PARTICIPATION - Pre-Registration is required. Contact PPE to register. This Clinic is designed for those who wish to advance their skills and develop their horsemanship.  Participants will also improve their enjoyment and safety while trail riding and to learn how to overcome emotional & physical obstacles with their horse.
