Description: This clinic is ideal for riders who are confident at walk, trot, and canter and are wanting to advance their skills with more refinement and finesse.  As long as you feel comfortable to ride at all three gaits - even if your horse is young/green and inexperienced - this clinic will also be a good fit for you.  We pride ourselves on creating a safe and supportive learning environment to where riders can build on their existing foundations and continue to grow in confidence and take their riding to the next level.

Scott is passionate about developing horses that are light, responsive and confident – making them enjoyable to ride and able to perform at their best.  This clinic will focus on progressing your riding through refining/advancing your existing skills and introducing more advanced exercises (such as lateral work, quality transitions, etc) that are tailored to suit the level of you and your horse. 

The clinic will begin with a brief groundwork component (usually no more than 30 minutes) before starting the ridden work.  The format is flexible, tailored to the needs of the individual horses/riders, addressing any challenges that arise, as well as covering off, as time allows, any specific areas that individuals wish to work on. The aim is to build on your existing foundation to develop horses that are well-prepared, balanced, and ready to get out and about – whether for pleasure or competition. 

Suitable for: Those who are confident to walk, trot and canter, are looking to develop more feel, softness and responsiveness, and those aiming to progress their ridden work to a more advanced level.
