Obstacle Clinics

Build trust and confidence in your horse and your horse in you. Expose your horse to challenges in a safe, positive, fun environment. Bring your young horse, your seasoned horse, your green horse. All disciplines welcome and can be done "in hand" also.

These clinics offer an individualized format geared toward your success and enjoyment. Let us help you "find your stride" and pick the pace and the level of challenge that is right for you and your horse, FUN!! It's not only "about the obstacle" - it's about the approach, the 'try', the communication, the expression and the ending. (Get the 2025 Clinic Schedule)

“You have a beautiful facility and have done a great job of setting up the obstacle course. The atmosphere was very relaxing and "no pressure" with everyone moving at his/her own pace. I really liked that. I felt like no time was wasted waiting for someone to get finished because there were so many different places to go work. I think what you have is great. Also, thanks for being great hosts and providing snacks and COLD water. I will recommend you guys."  PJ

“Wow, Jody, you are awesome!! So great to have photos of such a fun day to share with my family and friends (and enjoy myself, of course!)... Can't wait to get up there and see you guys again. You do such a great job with your clinics." AN

“I enjoyed the clinic very much and went away with a new perspective on my relationship with my horse. You offered tons of feedback (not criticism!) to help me improve my skills and yet I left feeling good about myself and my horse. In my experience that isn't often the case, so many thanks! I look forward to doing another clinic in the future and will certainly recommend you to my friends!"  LW

“Jody, I just want to say thank you for a wonderful day. You were very helpful. I really enjoyed the clinic as it seems that my horse, Smokey did too. You gave me something to work on and that is great. I need to remember not to get into a rush and give him a chance to respond. Thanks you so much for the pictures. They're great. Would like very much to come back sometime. With much thanks." TG
