Horsemanship Doesn’t get Better by Chance

0829_04

If you want to change your horse, you must first change the way you interact with him. “When you interact with your horse in a way that he understands, you’ll get results. But if you keep doing the same thing, you’ll keep getting the same results. Your horsemanship won’t improve by chance – it takes dedication and work,” Clinton says. “If you want a different reaction from your horse and want to progress your horsemanship, you’ll have to change the way you work around him and start seeing things from his point of view.”

Clinton will help horsemen in Eagle, Colorado look at their horsemanship in a new light next month when he instructs a three-day Fundamentals Clinic. The clinic will take place at the Eagle River Center, September 15th – 17th and will focus on the Fundamentals level of the Method. Participants will learn groundwork and riding exercises to communicate effectively with their horses and build a safe, fun partnership with them.

Spectators are welcome to attend all three days of the clinic. The clinic begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 5 p.m. daily. Doors to the facility will open at 8 a.m. for spectators, and a small retail area will be set up.
