Horses First Spring 2010 Clinics

Saturday, March 20: Mastering Smooth Transitions
The key to smooth transitions are the cues you recognize and give your horse ahead of time. You’ll find that things happen faster and more efficiently if you take one step at a time. You and your horse will appreciate the subtleties.

Sunday, March 28: Let’s Dance
We will start with an introduction to lateral movement and suppleness. Then we will proceed as a group in a variety of really fun formations.

All clinics start at 10:00
Fee: $80/person
Location: Horses First
If you would like a private lesson at your own facility the fee is $80/hour
within 50 mile of Horses First.

We will be giving clinics and lessons all year.
Also offered: training, sales, rehabilitation, clinics, assessments and boarding.
