👉2-hour clinics are $35 per person, and you must bring your own horse. We will build upon existing skills while helping riders prepare for success both in and out of the show pen. A small portion of the clinics will also focus on building the foundations of good horsemanship beyond riding; which includes grooming, tack, ground work, horse behavior, safety, and horse health.
