Whether you are new to the wonderful world of obstacles or struggling with them, join Dana De Frates, Brandi Lyons Certified Clinician, for two days and learn how to train your horse to navigate any obstacle you come across and benefit from the increased trust and confidence that working obstacles using horsemanship will bring to your partnership. With the potential for over 50 different obstacle options across our 1.25 acre obstacle park, there is no shortage of challenges for you to master.

In this clinic, we start on the ground learning the horsemanship skills that will allow us to tackle any obstacle safely and progress from there. This clinic is also a prerequisite for our Advanced Obstacle Clinics.

Suitable for both in-hand and in-saddle participation. In other words, you do not need to be able to ride to benefit from this clinic!
