The course requires a horse that you are comfortable riding at a walk, trot and lope on a loose rein with a good foundation.
At times, you will be riding outside the arena, so you need to be comfortable riding in these situations.
Green Broke horses or Studs are not suitable for this type of clinic.
This is a group clinic and your horse needs to be reasonable and manageable. Individual assistance will be given as needed and up to a certain amount without interfering with the progression of the group session.
The number of participant spots are limited so each rider can expect to get individual feedback throughout the clinic, as well as benefit from the feedback Chris will give others. You are expected to be a secure and confident rider and you are also expected to be able to enjoy riding for several hours at a time. If you are not at this level then we recommend auditing the clinic.
If you are renting a ranch clinic horse; saddle, tack, stall, feed, and hay are included. You are responsible for the care and maintenance of your rental horse and the maintenance of its stall. Buckets, shovels, etc. are provided.
You will need to arrive at the ranch on Sunday afternoon between 2 pm and 6 pm – the day before the clinic begins. Dinner is not served on Sunday night.
The Horsemanship Clinics are progressive. The knowledge and skills learned will build each day and the techniques and methods taught are fundamentals of Chris Cox’s program. These are practical and effective techniques that you can use every day to communicate with your horse.
Come prepared and ready to learn with an open mind. Please inform us of any physical problems or disabilities that will hinder you and your horses’ ability, prior to attending the clinic.
