The next clinic will be in January

Here is one of the participants comments on results from the last clinic.

Thank you!

I loved everything about the clinic! Rex is so knowledgeable and everyone was very friendly.

It more than fulfilled my expectations. I didn’t expect to get on Dolly at the end of the 3 days, but it actually happened.

The only area of improvement would have been the weather on Friday. Although we were able to work in the barn, we weren’t able to complete the outside ride on Friday. I am very grateful Rex took me to the round-pen on Saturday to boost my confidence and prove to me that I could do it! Without that, I might have been too nervous to attempt to get on her once we got her home. And that would have been a shame!

I would absolutely recommend the clinic and I would absolutely come back for more! One of the best parts of it was that he was teaching both the horse and the rider. It wasn’t like sending your horse to be trained, it was sending both of us to learn so we can do it right going forward. Who can’t use that type of training up on a regular basis?!!

We have a long way to go, but we are at least under saddle now (in a round pen and at a walk). I’ve done it alone and she still stands beautifully for me (we haven’t worked on a mounting block yet and I can hear Rex scolding me over it, but she stands perfectly still while I get on from the ground and waits patiently til I tell her to move on, so I can’t complain about that).

Thank you again. I definitely intend to see you again! -Diana
