Come join Chris for a week-long, learning event of
a lifetime. The Diamond Double C Ranch becomes your home for 6 days as Chris leads you to a
higher level of understanding and communication with your horse. What you will learn during your stay will permanently and positively change the way you deal with your horse. You will not only benefit from the group lessons, but will receive personal instruction from Chris.
You will learn to:
- Understand how the horse thinks and why.
- Communicate effectively in ways the horse understands and respects.
- Master the ground work that is essential for every horses foundation training
- Develop confidence in yourself as a rider.
- Master collection, lead changes, stops, turn-a rounds and much more.
It all starts on Monday morning at 8:00am with a hearty breakfast at the ranch kitchen. Chris will start the clinics with an orientation and introductions.
At the end of the week, you will head home with a new enriched concept of how to communicate with your horse and establish a relationship of respect and understanding. The number of participants in each clinic is limited to ensure an ideal learning atmosphere.

Horse Rentals:
If you are unable to bring a horse to the clinic, there are horses at the Diamond Double C Ranch available to rent for $600. The rental price includes tack and all necesities. This is a great opportunity if you lack confidence in your horse and want to learn the program and techniques correctly first hand from Chris. Then you can take it home and apply them to your horse after you have learned properly.

Progressive Learning:
There are 5 Horsemanship Clinics offered. The program is designed to start at the beginning and build a foundation and one of a kind relationship with your horse. Chris has designed each clinic to be progressive to continue to build on your knowledge, communication, effectiveness, feel and timing to accelerate your horsemanship as far as YOU want to take it. Since the clinics are progressive it's crucial that you start at the beginning of the program (Horsemanship I) to ensure a solid foundation. If you have been following the Chris Cox Horsemanship program either from the Instructional I & II DVD sets or from his RFD-TV series and are an advanced rider, skipping a clinic can be considered. You must submit a DVD showing the proper techniques and methods, for more details and specifications of your DVD call the Ranch office. Chris has recently designed a clinic Building Riders' Confidence Clinic for riders lacking confidence. Begin the Journey with Stormy Mullins and Clayton Anderson are offered for beginners or riders that want an introduction to the Chris Cox Horsemanship Program.
