Defining HorseManShip
Coaching Clinics

Why are Defining HorseManShip Clinics different?

We concentrate on horsemanship and horse handling to help you define your horsemanship.
We work from the horse's agenda, meaning that the horse will let us know where our communication can use improvement, both on the ground and under saddle.
We work in small groups so you and your horse get more personal attention.
Both Karen and Jim are available throughout the clinic to assist you individually and in small groups.
We focus on you, your horse, and what you can do to improve your horsemanship.  During our observation of the horse, the rider, and the relationship between them, we come up with creative ideas, offer exercises and interject techniques for you to try to help your horse and to increase your awareness.
This occurs as we see opportunities in the moment, as they arise...naturally.

Through experience with us, riders become aware of what they are doing in the moment, why they get the results they get, and how to make the changes they want.
 
We teach by way of FEEL...Facilitated Experiential Equine Learning.

• Define your horsemanship goals
• Greater value for your time and money

"Experience is Knowledge...everything else is just information"...Albert Einstein

Clinics
One Day Clinics
are designed to get you introduced to many of our helpful and creative exercises and training concepts, scratching the surface of what is possible with your horse.
One Day Clinics begin with a brief evaluation of your goals, equipment and horsemanship concerns and conclude with plans for follow-up through programs that we offer, such as  Casual Coaching Days, or Weekender and 5 Day Ranch Retreats, Trail Rides and other special events.  Groups are small...up to 8.


We feel our approach has great value to you and your horse because we not only share with you knowledge...we help you get results through experience in the "here and now"

Multiple Day Clinics allow for more expanded time for things to sink in, work on your group's focus, adding more time for follow-up, a chance to make the strides you've always wanted in working with your horse but couldn't do in just one day...
maybe include a trail ride for applying principles to purpose!
