“Fundamental Horsemanship” is a one day
clinic that is done primarily from the saddle. This clinic’s format is to
fill some of the holes that “greener” riders may have but can also advance
the skills of the long time trail rider. Your horse will thank you for
getting some of these topics sorted out!
It is recommended that the rider be able to comfortably walk and trot for
this clinic.
