Gain the Right Experience

0706_03

Great horsemen have three things in common: excellent feel, great timing and extensive experience working with horses and studying horsemanship. “The only way to develop feel and timing is through experience. The more horses you ride, the more clinics you go to, the more videos you watch, and the more books you read, the more experienced and knowledgeable you become,” Clinton explains. “The hardest things for me to teach people are feel and timing. I wish I could bottle them up and hand them over to you, but I can’t because they are not something that you can physically touch. What I can do is work with you and your horse and share with you my experiences that have helped me develop my own feel and timing.”

With COVID-19 restrictions being eased, our Professional Clinicians and Method Ambassadors are back on the road holding clinics and private lessons to help horsemen better their skills. There’s no better way to gain experience than by receiving one-on-one help from a knowledgeable instructor.

To find an event in your area, head to our Certified Clinician website and select the Schedule tab. On the website, you’ll find information about each of our clinicians and ambassadors and will be able to communicate with them directly about attending a clinic or setting up a private lesson.
