These clinics are aimed at promoting awareness of tension in the equine mind and body, how this affects our horses - and what we can do through bodywork and horsemanship to help them be at their best potential.

Starting with a short classroom component that supports and expands upon the practical sessions, participants are introduced to relevant equine anatomy and physiology before getting hands-on with their own horses to learn and build upon essential skills for identifying tension and imbalance through diagnostic assessment.

Throughout the day, each horse will also receive a mini bodywork session to further assess, discuss and treat muscular restrictions that may be presenting.

The clinic’s afternoon component is dedicated to working through in-hand exercises to help target optimal balance and strength through relaxed, functional movement. These exercises are also a great complimentary tool for horse owners to develop an eye for how your horse moves, what is correct and what is not, all while providing an opportunity to work on correct movement without a rider on top. Participants are also taught a range of stretches to go through with your horse, and for each demonstrated exercise and stretch you will learn the benefits and affects of each, and when best to apply them.

Each participant receives a documented assessment that includes recommended stretches and in-hand exercises specifically based on how your horse has presented. These can be worked on during the clinic while under guided instruction, and taken home for future reference.

The 'Balancing Equine Mind and Body' clinics are such a great opportunity to not only upgrade your own skills, but to also create stronger bonds with your horses. Currently hosted over one day, we are looking to expand into an optional 2 day clinic with ridden work included.

The clinics are suitable for all horse owners at any level who are looking to develop a deeper understanding of their horse and build their skills in a relaxed, friendly environment - or just those who want to come and enjoy the day.
