Clinic Info


Assessment Clinic For Horse Owners/Trainers/Professionals

Learn to look, see and understand the posture of your horse!

The information that will be shared with you in this clinic is based on and supported by facts, not opinion.

Fact:  Anatomical Function (every body part has a function)

Fact:  Balance (every object has a balance point)

Fact:  Gravity (is always pulling toward earth)

When you learn to apply these concepts to 3 components of the horse, which include:

  •   Temporal Madibular Joint (TMJ) - Jaw

  •   Musculoskeletal System - Muscles & Joints

  •   Hooves - Feet (foundation)

You will be instructed on how to assess TMJ function as well as use strengthening and stretching exercises for your horse.

In this clinic I will teach you how to look at and see the imbalances in horses that you observe everyday.  You will learn to assess the tempromandibular joint for balance and function.  Also on the agenda is looking at the feet (hooves) and understanding why they have the growth patterns that they do.  There will be an assessment on how to read a horse's physical abilities and how muscular imbalance can affect those abilities. 

In short, I will teach you to view a horse's body as you never observed it before.  I have instructed many people and every one of them said the same thing in the end:  "I will never look at a horse the same way again." 

Clinic will include an Octassager Massage tool and instructions.

Clinic for the Horse Owner/Trainer

I offer clinics at my facility for horse owners and trainers where you would be instructed on assessing the balance of your horse.  I will demonstrate simple to apply stretch and strengthen exercises to help restore balance to your horse. 

Each participant may bring one horse, but will learn much more because you observe others in the clinic assessing and balancing their horse, and you may have one at home that may look just like another participant's. 

In this clinic I will personally assess your horse and explain what I see and why.  Then I will share information with you and instruct you as to the specific needs of that particular horse.  You will learn to use reflex points to stimulate muscles creating strength and learn proper stretching techniques using proper body mechanics, body position and hand placement.  This clinic will improve the posture and performance of your horse as well as creating an amazing bonding experience.  Auditors are welcome and may ask questions at end of participants' instruction (no hands on training). 

This is NOT a bodywork clinic.  It IS designed to help you understand your horse and how to improve it's posture and well being.

At My Facility (Leisure Hour Ranch)

A maximum of three horses and participants will be scheduled at a time (offering a morning and/or afternoon clinic).  Clinic will be conducted under a covered stall with a misting system (when it's hot) and the horses that are waiting can graze in separated side by side 12 x 24 pastures.  Participants are welcome to attend both morning and afternoon sessions (horses only one session). 

At Your Facility

You may host a clinic at your facility (inquire about host benefit).  Same rules apply as to participants.  If out of town travel is required, then a full six participants must be scheduled. 

  •   Total number of horses is 6.

  •   Fee for horse/owner is $250 each.

  •   Auditing fee is $125.

  •   Registration will be confirmed on a first come, first serve basis as to deposit received.  Fee for participants is $250 to be paid in full 4 weeks prior to clinic date to secure your space. 

  •   All deposits/payments are non-refundable unless you find someone to fill your spot. 

  •   Clinic fee does not include overnight stabling of your horse or arena fee, if any.  Stabling and arena fees are established separately by host facility.  Please contact the facility directly to secure your stalling space for the clinic should you require it. 

  •   Only the host of the clinic may audit for free.  No other person may participate free of charge. 

  •   Travel charges and fees may apply for out of town/state clinics.
