Whether you’re new to obstacles, need a confidence boost, or already love them, our obstacle program, built on the Four Pillars of Partnership, will increase the trust you and your horse share. Suitable for ages 13+, all disciplines, and all experience levels.
This one day clinic is all about desensitizing your horse to as many things as possible and is suitable for both in-hand and in-saddle participation. In other words, you do not need to be able to ride to benefit from our program! In fact, you will often see our yearlings being used as demo horses.
Past participants tell us that our obstacle programs are TRANSFORMATIVE and many choose to join us time and time again and again because, as with all our clinics, it is always about you, your horse, and where you are in your journey. We customize the exercises and the obstacles available at the clinic for that clinic's unique set of participants. ​
All disciplines and all levels (age 13+) are welcome!
Young horses welcome!
Well behaved stallions welcome!
Overnight pens available for $15/night
Limited to just 10 participants to ensure you and your horse get the 1:1 instruction and support you deserve.
Participate: $150
