Everything BUT the Riding – Pre Riding Season Checklist Clinic
Join us at Spirit Horse Center May 30, 31 and June 1 as we explore a comprehensive weekend designed to set you and your equine partner up for a safe and enjoyable trail riding season. This clinic would also be very beneficial to senior horses needing enrichment and youngsters not yet started under saddle.
Clinician and Reach Out to Horses Certified Holistic Horsemanship Trainer and Instructor Staci Grattan will guide you as you explore a potentially new point of view in horsemanship and connection. Participants will be working with their horses to explore new viewpoints, giving the horses a voice and a choice, safe and ethical desensitizing, trust based leadership and compassionate communication and more.
Dates and curriculum:
Friday evening May 30th 6pm-9pm – Introduction to the weekend and a lecture and demonstrations on Complimentary & Supportive holistic products and practices that will aid you and your horse as you head into the 2025 Riding Season.
