  • How to ride and train in a way that creates feather-light and confident responsiveness.
  • Ranch Horse Versatility: how to train your horse to navigate obstacles with precision in a willing, responsive and refined fashion

JP teaches one rider/horse at a time, so there is a lot of flexibility built in the clinic. Each rider works on the things he/she wishes to work on when her turn comes up.
You will depart from the clinic with a personalized training plan designed for you and your horse’s advancement.
