The Confident Horsewoman Clinic 1: Foundations for Partnership & Progress
Dates: May 14,15,16, 2026
A three-day immersive clinic focused on confidence, communication, and capable horsemanship.
This clinic is designed for horsewomen who want to feel more knowledgeable, prepared, and confident in their everyday work with horses—both on the ground and in the saddle. Whether you are newer to horse ownership or are developing a relationship with a new horse and feel there are gaps in your education, this clinic offers thoughtful, practical instruction you can immediately apply at home.
Instruction is hands-on, supportive, and intentionally paced to allow riders to ask questions, build understanding, and grow real confidence. Small group size ensures individual attention and flexibility in topics based on participant needs.
Clinic Topics May Include:
- Basic horse management, body condition scoring, and feeding
- Understanding equine body language and subtle communication
- Foundational groundwork every horse should know
- Trailer loading and trailering safety
- Basic first aid, wrapping, and common equine illnesses
- Redefining “bad behavior” and managing common challenges
- Building basic fitness and flexibility in the horse
- Identifying rider strengths, setting realistic goals, and building confidence
- Trail confidence and riding safely in a group
- Practical riding skills such as opening gates, standing for mounting, and smooth transitions
- Confidence-building exercises and games for horse and rider
Enrollment is intentionally limited to ensure a calm, supportive learning environment and individualized instruction.
