Steve Rother Clinic

Did you see Steve at the Horse Expo last weekend? If not, there's another opportunity to check him out this coming weekend in Washougal at a four day clinic where he'll showcase many different horsemanship techniques.

Here's the outline from his website.

This clinic is designed to be an overall learning experience that builds on
several aspects of communication, confidence, respect, trust, impulsion, and
performance. The clinic is open to people of all skill levels and disciplines,
beginner to advanced are welcome. We also welcome horses of all ages and breeds.

This clinic builds on concepts that take several days to achieve. The best
format is to take the entire clinic. A minimum participation of 2 days is
required. If your horse is not rideable or too young, you can take just the
ground work class.

What you will learn:
• Confidence to overcome fears.
• Tools to keep your horse calm, curious, and respectful.
• Feel and timing to increase your horse’s try.
• Common mistakes of both the horse and rider.
• How to think from a horse’s point of view.
• What to do when your horse does the unexpected.
• How to accomplish incredible things with your horse.
• Key exercises to unlock your horse’s potential.
• Exercises to correct your horse’s bad habits.

Essentially we will be teaching you the building blocks for success!

Spectators are welcome - $20 per day
Friday Eve Demonstration $10 (buy one get one free)

I really enjoy watching Steve's clinics. He blends entertainment with information making it informative and engaging for both riders and spectators. His natural horsemanship methods are straight forward, easy to follow and are rooted in the Ray Hunt and Buck Brannaman tradition.

Use this rainy weather as an opportunity to improve your knowledge and skill before you hit the trails (or arenas) this summer!
