Fall Horsemanship an OTTB restarting clinic

🐎 SAVE THE DATE! — FALL HORSEMANSHIP & OTTB CLINIC 🐎
October 17–18 | Woodstock Farm
Cleveland Yard South
Have you ever wished someone would just teach you HOW TO BE A BETTER HORSE PERSON?
Not just how to ride—but how to understand your horse, care for them, handle problems, and make good decisions when things don’t go exactly as planned?
We are excited to offer a two-day, hands-on Horseman­ship & Thoroughbred Clinic for adults and young adults!
👩‍🏫 Taught by Elisabeth Copeland & Mike Mullin
This clinic is designed with the amateur horse owner and rider in mind—whether you own a Thoroughbred, a Quarter Horse, a pony, a warmblood, or you’re simply hoping to become a more knowledgeable horse person.
🐴 DAY ONE — HORSEMANSHIP FROM THE GROUND UP
We’ll cover the things every horse owner should know:
• Basic daily horse care
• Feeding, hydration & turnout
• Grooming & hoof care
• Blanketing
• Safe handling
• Leading & tying
• Cross-ties
• Ground manners
• Reading horse behavior & body language
• Basic troubleshooting
• When something isn’t right—and when to call the vet
• Trailer loading and handling
• And LOTS of your questions!
And we’ll be doing it hands-on with our horses, not just sitting in a classroom.
🏇 DAY TWO — RESTARTING THE OTTB
We’ll take you behind the scenes and show you how we approach a newly retired Thoroughbred coming off the track.
We’ll discuss and demonstrate:
• What we look for when a horse first arrives
• Decompression & establishing a routine
• Assessing temperament and physical condition
• Building trust and confidence
• Ground manners
• Tack and preparation
• Standing to be mounted
• First rides
• Steering, stopping & rhythm
• Hacking out
• Introducing poles and fences
• Troubleshooting common problems
• Knowing when to push forward—and when to back off
Most importantly, we’ll talk about WHY we do things the way we do.
Because understanding your horse is just as important as knowing what button to push.
❤️ THIS IS FOR YOU IF…

You are a young adult learning the ropes.
