While Cowboy Dressage is one of the fastest-growing equine disciplines in Australia, it can serve as foundational training for your Trail Horse, Ranch, 3PE, and every other discipline, or stand alone.With 'Soft-Feel' as the guiding principle, students develop a deeper understanding of their impact on their horse's emotional and physical well-being, both on the ground and under saddle.
Jen Hawkins is an endorsed Cowboy Dressage Clinician and Educator who brings valuable knowledge from a lifetime in the equine world. She combines her background in Classical Dressage with Australian Horsemanship and 40 years of dedicated breeding and handling youngsters.
Open to all levels of experience, this two-day clinic is an opportunity for horse enthusiasts of all disciplines to train with Jen Hawkins, to further develop your skills, and grow your partnerships with your horses. Come along and share the joy of creating 'Soft Feel' with your horse.
The clinic will focus on lateral movements and transitions to develop better engagement, balance and 'Soft Feel'.
Day 1 is an opportunity to develop these partnership skills through effective horsemanship (including ground-skills), followed by a day exploring them through Cowboy Dressage.
All levels of riders and breeds of horses are welcome.
Only 10 rider positions are available.
Riders: $380
Deposit: $100 (non-refundable except where a clinic is cancelled) Payable by 1st April.
