Clinics
Horse owners need to know how to effectively communicate with their horses. Learning how your horse thinks and how best to communicate through fundamental groundwork and riding exercises will give both you and your horse the confidence for a safe, respectful and fun partnership.
I have a huge passion for teaching all levels. I have taught many clinics and groups for Reined Cowhorse, Cattle Penning, Cattle Sorting, Ranching and Practical Cow Work, Mountain Trail, Flag, Bison, Training on the Trail, Groundwork and Liberty, Backcountry Packing and Preparation, Desensitizing and Confidence Building, Obstacles, and more!
I currently run regular clinics at my own ranch on Green Lake located between 100 Mile House and 70 Mile House, as well as at School House Ranch in the 103 Mile area. You can also join me at many other facilities and locations around BC.
