-True West Horsemanship Clinic
The True Horsemanship crew will be holding a clinic at Summerville Stables! Read about some details of the clinic below:
​
"3 Day Horsemanship Clinic – Suits Ridden Horses at Beginner, Intermediate & Advanced Horsemanship Levels...
​
Clinic format: will have participants split into 2 small groups of riders with a max of 6 in each group. The focus will be on feel, communication, leadership and progressing on the horse/rider relationship. Each group will have a practical 1.5hr session with their horse in morning and afternoon. A huge benefit of these clinics is you get a shorter session with more 1-on-1 time with Ben to really concentrate on personal progress. You then have the bonus to have a soaking/breathing time while spectating the other group’s sessions – learning from a huge range or situations which you can then apply to your horsemanship journey as well.
​
Date: May, Fri 10th & Sun 12th, 2024
Time: 9:00am – 4:00pm
Where: Summerville Stables Indoor Arena, 66967 Hunter Rd, Summerville, La Grande, OR
