Horsemanship Clinics

"Horse psychology is applied as an everyday part of the operation" Wanderlust Magazine, UK Horsemanship clinics at Horizon Horseback Adventures make use of unbroken colts to demonstrate the equine nature when dealing with all horses. By starting a number of colts, Shane will explain how an understanding of horse psychology can improve the handling and training of any horse.

Much of the clinic will involve a hands on approach, with guest interaction and plenty of discussion opportunities. Clinics run for six days and will include round-pen-reasoning, desensitising and sensitising, leading and loading, backing, problem solving and bits and bitting. The overall emphasis of the week will be on building trust and respect in a horse with the intention of creating better awareness of your horse’s needs. Those attending the clinic will be encouraged to participate in handling the young stock at various stages of the training.

Guest numbers are limited to eight to retain a casual and personal atmosphere and allow more opportunity for guest interaction with the horses.
