Skill LabsNew for 2023, I am excited to launch a new way of helping you reach your goals with your horse; Skills Labs. Born from the overwhelming number of requests I've received for shorter programs, opportunities to reconnect with fellow clinic goers, and more time to focus on on a particular concept, Skill Labs are 1/2 day group sessions that give us the opportunity to come together and work on something specific. Maybe you and your horse need more time to work on On, Over, Under, or Through type obstacles, or perhaps you want to work on developing more Body control but you can't join a clinic, maybe you just want to have fun and learn to teach your horse some tricks, or possibly you are just too far away to do regular lessons, Skills Labs are the answer! Each session, focused on a specific topic, will run from 10am - 2pm, with a bring your own brown bag lunch and Q&A session mid day.
