THE OPENING OF THE SCHOOL OF HORSE
The S
chool of horse was a great success this year. We had two very eager groups of return
students come to go "Beyond The Clinic".
The school was designed to be an in depth hands on immersion into trail,
ranch, and performance development.
Every morning included one hour of classroom activities going over
psychology and concepts of the days activities, as well as a couple of hours in
the arena working on performance and cattle work. The afternoons were mainly designated to the
development of a good solid trail horse and trail riding program. One of the main highlights for the participants
was the Horse Creek Treasure Hunt.
Designed after the "Amazing Race" - Riders were split into teams of two
and sent
around the ranch to collect clues and complete optional tasks in order
to make their way to the finish line. It
was a great way for riders to put aside any confidence and trail issues and
just get out and go for a goal. It was
amazing to see what they were able to accomplish is such a short time. Special thanks to all of those that
attended! We look forward to doing it
again.
For those of you looking to advance your horsemanship
"Beyond the Clinic", we will be opening the ranch again next year. This is truly a unique equine experience, a
one of a kind! Keep posted for
times. We will be offering early bird
specials!
NEW ADDITION - JETHRO, "
THE MINI-ME FRESIAN"
Joining us this year on the road was a partner for our
little superstar Spanky. Standing just
34 inches tall, Jethro has been a great addition to Francesca's miniature horse
trick and liberty routine. A rescue
horse from Central Oregon, Jethro was placed in a home after being found
abandoned in an irrigation ditch.
Choosing to never give up, he is now
back to 110% and has helped to inspire hundreds of horse people since he began
his routine just a few months ago.
"EXCEL WITH HORSES"
RETURNING TO BRITISH COLUMBIA!
Last year we arrived in Canada for our first clinic in
British Columbia. Hosted by Twin Creeks
ranch in Duncan we were greeted
by many wonderful horse enthusiasts. We shared many tales, tricks, and techniques
to gain a better partnership with our equine friends. Deborah Flinn was a great host and she
brought in some wonderful people to ride with.
We will be once again be returning to B.C. for two more
clinics (Aldergrove and Duncan), and one expo in just a couple of weeks.
