Clinics & Workshops

 

Hands-on learning in a calm, focused environment.

If you enjoy learning alongside a small group of likeminded riders, my clinics are for you. You’ll be in a calm, positive environment where you’ll learn not only how to do the moves, but—more importantly—why they are essential to your horse's fitness plan. Spots are kept very limited to ensure personalized attention.

Come learn the why behind the how.

  • Learn how to effectively ask your horse to move, not tell them!

    This is the clinic your horse will truly thank you for. You’ll both leave feeling fitter, more comfortable, and confident. Your horse’s body will get tuned up, and you'll walk away with a sensible game plan for future training to address any weak spots or imbalances. All disciplines are welcome.

    I offer three options:

    1. Home Clinics (Riding): Come learn at my facility in Central Point, Oregon.

    2. Custom Clinics (Riding): I can travel to your location and create a custom workshop tailored to your group’s specific needs.

    3. Sensible Cowgirl Massage Clinic (NEW!)

  • Tired of just wishing you could help your horse's sore muscles? Learn to do it yourself!

    This workshop empowers you with the knowledge and hands-on skills to give your horse a beneficial maintenance massage right in your own barn. A regular massage routine helps increase flexibility, improve circulation, and speed up recovery—all while strengthening the bond between you and your horse.

    In this focused clinic, you will learn:

    • How to read your horse's body language to locate tightness and pain.

    • Essential, easy-to-use massage techniques for major muscle groups.

    • A sensible, step-by-step routine you can incorporate into your daily grooming.

    • The “why” behind where and how to apply pressure for maximum benefit.

    This is a hands-on program—bring your horse and learn by doing!

  • I work in small groups to ensure personalized attention. Riders run through exercises designed to improve their horses' strength, body balance, flexibility, and overall ease of movement.

    A typical riding clinic schedule looks like this (though it can be modified for your group):

    Time: 9:00 AM–10:30 AM
    Activity: Group Riding Session A (max 5 riders)

    Time: 10:30 AM–12:00 PM
