Formalities
Is this clinic suitable for me and my horse?
This clinic is suitable for all levels of cow experience and is welcoming to all disciplines whether western or english. Come enjoy my supportive and fun teaching style. If you're unsure if riding out on the range is suitable for you and your horse at this time you're welcome to sit that portion out and watch the group bring in the herd or do it in hand. Ground work and safety is always encouraged and any portion of the clinic can be enjoyed in hand if that's the safest option.
