This Center Riding clinic is open to riders of all levels and disciplines. Participants will explore and develop an understanding of the basics of Centered Riding (CR); Soft Eyes, Breathing, Centering and Balance, along with Grounding and Self-Awareness.
 The mornings are spent with riders learning the basics and practicing them through interactive exercises. The afternoons are for application under saddle. CR clinic participants improve balance, comfort and the overall communication with their horse, resulting in a more content and willing equine partner. She has a positive solution for the vast majority of the problems you would encounter with your riding and horse. Auditors participate in the morning session and watch riders in the afternoon. Riders/Auditors provide their own lunch and drinks.
