Calm, Willing and Confident Horses Clinic

  • Calm, Willing and Confident Horses - Kybow Park Equine 131 Yettie Road Williamstown, SA, 5351 Australia (map)

In this clinic you will discover that everything you train and expect under saddle has a starting point on the ground. By understanding this starting point and how it progresses under saddle you can solve problem behaviour, remove frustration when you are working with your horse and improve your confidence.

SIGNIFICANT FOR: Spooky/anxious/nervous horses, young/green horses, horses with ANY behavioural or riding issue OR people keen to improve their horse training knowledge, skills and performance results.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
How to analyse and evaluate a horse’s behaviour and what it understands and what it can perform confidently
Strategies to improve a horse’s focus, learning and confidence
How to progress the benefits of ground work into under saddle training
How to overcome problems on the ground and in the saddle

WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING:

For ground work: Rope halter & 12-13ft lead rope (the greatest training tool anyone can have in their tack room), training stick & string or short lunge whip or training flag, gloves (recommended but optional), riding boots and protection boots/bandages (recommended but optional) for your horse including bell boots if your horse is shod.

For ridden work: Saddle, girth, saddle blanket, bridle, approved riding helmet, whip (if required), and riding boots.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
A pre-clinic Zoom call will be conducted a week prior to the clinic. In this clinic Shelley will discuss her process and what each participant would like to work on. This will allow plan for how each day will be organised as it will be tailored to the needs of the participants. Typically clinics involve individual and small group formats.

The clinic will run from approximately 8am to 5pm each day. Please arrive early on the first day to allow time for introductions, signing waivers, etc.

All participants are encouraged to observe the other sessions and participate in discussions. Your session can focus just on ground work, ground work and ridden work. However, any horse that is anxious or exhibits any problem behaviour will be required to have their first session in the round yard to assess their issues.

A presentation and discussion session will be held at lunch time each day.

A week after the clinic a second Zoom call will be conducted to discuss how everyone is going.
