This will be a very detailed and educational clinic working on the intricasies of the 12 Training Principles of Natural Horsemanship and how they apply to EVERYTHING that you do with your horse. We will also cover the 3 components of a horse, the 4 categories that all horse problems fall under, How bits works and why you should use certain bits at certain times with certain horses. Educational and detailed. Whether on the ground or in the saddle, you and your horse are going to begin to communicate differently.
