Breaking in clinics running September 5th – 23rd. Great opportunity to learn round pen reasoning, join up, long reining, and backing. Come for 1 – 3 weeks to work with Shane and learn these wonderfully gentle techniques, no additional cost for clinic sessions.

Winter / early spring beauty here in the bush

The chill has left us and the glorious warm golden days are here. Each season in the Waterberg has it's own charm and this is one of my personal favorites....Tanya

Also Shane is sharing his horsemanship clinic notes on the discussion page on Facebook. Please comment and ask questions. Here are some of the recent comments......

Debbie Ridley "" We wanted to go somewhere we wouldnt forget in a hurry. I wanted to go back to Africa and Phill knows my first love is horse so decided to combine the two. Im an experienced rider and Phill only had a couple of lessons before we went but he had no problems and the staff helped him no end. We were made to feel like part of the family right from the start. You can do as little or as much riding and helping as you like.Also the walking and fishing is great too. If you like a faster pace do some jumping i loved it. Great horses, great people, food and scenery to die for. loved every minute. A honeymoon we shall never forget and once Tegan is old enough rest assured we will be back. So go on promise you wont regret it.

Kim Bartlett-Brown "" The only thing that upstages the amazing horses are the even more amazing people you will meet when you stay at Horizon. You will never have experienced anywhere quite like it, within minutes you are no longer a guest but a much loved member of the Horizon family and that is what makes this place so special. My family are not experienced riders (our children had never ridden before) but by the end of our 6 day holiday they were cantering through the bush like seasoned professionals. Before leaving we had already booked our visit for next year...............what more of a recommendation can anyone give!

Rosemary Nelson "" I discovered Horizon about 6 years ago and have now lost count of the number of times I've been there. I've been on several other great riding holidays around the world but nowhere matches Horizon - so many fantastic horses for every ability, great accommodation and food, superb staff, wonderful scenery, so many different things to do... the list goes on and on. Just go, I promise you will love it!

Gerry McDougall "" I have been to Horizon 8 times which speaks volumes about every aspect of the place, people and horses there. If you only ever go on one riding holiday in your life then go to Horizon, you will fall in love with the place. I think a part of my soul resides there. Thank you Shane & Laura xx

Lindy Hill "" One of my all time favourite riding destinations. Twenty out of ten for great hospitality, incredible rides, superb horses and the kind of holiday the whole family can enjoy. A real home away from home. Every visit I have been on to Horizon, I have left a piece of my heart behind!

Fiona Partington Hi Horizon! It was a big mistake to make you my friend - I just want to be there all the time!!! Love the daily photos & bulletins! We are saving up for our........30th wedding anniversary 2011 - eeeek!!! Can I bring somebody else? Only kidding... Fiona XX Hope everyone is OK & on good form??

Adriano Di Gianvittorio Words of wisdom from the legendary Mr Dowinton! It's taken me a while to learn this stuff but the results I'm getting now with my ponies are outstanding!
Shane, you planted a seed when I met you guys, gotta say it grew in to an oak over the last few year. I'll get some foto's of last years young stock - truly amazing!
ADG

Teresa Sams I have "started" three youngsters your way, and even persuaded the yard owner to construct a makeshift round pen. The results are amazing, the young horses are going great, and the older ones enjoy it too. I have helped people understand their horses body language, and reschool their way of thinking, which in turn has improved their relationships with their horses. I learnt so much from you, which I am now putting in practice..........thank you.
