CRAIG JOHNSON: FUN-DAMENTALS OF REINING

CRAIG JOHNSON "REINING FUN-DAMENTALS" TWO DAY CLINIC OCTOBER 18-19 2008....this is Craig's first clinic in Florida and we are honored to have him here.  This World-champion reiner offers a horsemanship clinic that has english and western riders raving from Coast to Coast.   Whether you are a beginning horseman, avid rider, competitive sportsman or trainer, this course will improve both you and your horse's riding relationship. Taking "reining" from an event to a set of principles, Craig Johnson reveals how horses become more willingly guided with little or no resistance. Through understanding the psychology of the horse and the benefits of "good confusion", you will learn how to encourage your horse to stay focused and thinking during a riding session. No matter your riding discipline and interests, applying the principles and concepts of "reining" will improve both you and your horse's performance and relationship.  Email us for more information. 

HORSEMANSHIP WITH LARRY WHITESELL:  November 8-9-10. Very special clinic for gaited and non-gaited horses.  Based upon Mark Russell's relaxation and "lightness" exercises, Larry teaches a very unique clinic that should not be missed, even if you do not have a gaited horse.  $675 for  3 days incl lunches, dinner/square dance, and horse accomodations. THERE IS A WAITING LIST FOR NOVEMBER CLINIC. Please email for more information.

Larry says:  "Gaited horses are comfortable and easy to learn to ride. However, training a gaited horse can be challenging in that we must slowly bring it into a correct frame without jeapordizing the gait."

INTRODUCING MARK RUSSELL,
AUTHOR OF "LESSONS IN LIGHTNESS"
December 6-7-8
LESSONS IN LIGHTNESS with MARK RUSSELL:
His book "Lessons in Lightness" had put Mark in the forefront of classical dressage and other disciplines.  Come and join us for a combination of private and group sessions for riders (english or western) who want to learn how to promote the benefits of suppleness and flexion in the horse in order to achieve lightness to the aids. By using these methods the rider unleashes the horse's true movement without either driving force (the rider's legs) or holding restraints (the rider's hands). When the rider enables the horse to use his energy efficiently, the horse will drive himself forward- once balanced in self-carriage, there will be no resistance in the rein.  See more about Mark at
