Each clinic size is intentionally kept small (5-10 students depending on the class) so each student receives ample riding time and quality instruction. All instructors are screened and student safety is a priority. Students can ride their own horse or use one of Eagle's Wings Ranch's horses (with the exception of some of the training clinics when all the horses will be provided by Eagle's Wings Ranch).
At this time I am offering one day or weekend clinics. I can set up clinics by appointment for family or friend groups so if you're interested in this option and have a group of at least 4 or 5, contact me by email michelle1050@sbcglobal.net and we can get that set up.
At this time I do not have any open scheduled clinics but if you want to schedule one, let me know.
I also offer summer horse camps. The 2009 camps are already over but there will be more in 2010 so keep that in mind!
Colt Training Clinic
Colt Training Clinic is for anyone age 14 and over who have at least intermediate experience with horses. Students will learn the correct way to start a horse from the ground up. This will include general handling to gentle a horse, round pen work, saddling and first rides. Students will be shown how to correctly start a horse and get them to green broke stage. Students must have enough experience to be comfortable around green colts and be prepared to participate in the training. This is a hands-on clinic and students will be doing most of the training themselves under the instructor's close supervision and instruction.
*Horses will be provided for this clinic*
