Clinic Times: 9.30 am - 5.30 pm
If you have watched Ben previously you will be familiar with his 3 c's these echo throughout his training, but it is something else seeing this in practice, so much is learnt from watching Ben coach students with their horses, making sure all offer clarity, consistency to equal confidence - or at least doing his best to get us all thinking and training this way!Each day will start with a short theory session and Q&A with Ben. Ben will talk with us about his philosophy, his horses, how he achieves clarity, consistency & confidence and more!
Ben will then guide Riders in paired sessions, which are very flexible, sometimes people work on ground, tricks, Liberty, bridless riding, Dressage, it is very flexible, the clinic is about what you and your horse need to move forwards and have fun!
Riders are welcome to focus on ground/liberty or ridden work, making this clinic open to both those who ride and those who don't!
We do ask that those coming that would like to work on Liberty please watch the first few video's in Ben's 'How To' series, this will set you up for the clinic and mean that Ben can really help you with your Liberty, know that you have this information.
