[Event] Equine Posture Clinic with Dutch Henry | June 21-23, 2019
JOIN CLINICIAN AND AUTHOR DUTCH HENRY, AUTHOR OF “IT’S FOR THE HORSES” FOR A WEEKEND AT THE BEAUTIFUL MEADOW CREEK MOUNTAIN RANCH FOR AN INTIMATE EVENT DESIGNED TO DEEPEN YOUR CONNECTION WITH HORSES. BRING YOUR HORSES OR USE ONE OF OURS!
Limited to 10 horse and human teams, this exciting event will teach you how to increase your bond and create a deeper connection between you and your horse. You’ll also improve your seat, communication, and posture in the saddle, while learning to feel and “hear” your horse through a series of easy to do exercises that will help your horse relax, release tension, and maintain a proper and healthy posture.
You will end this clinic with a deeper understanding and connection with your horse than you ever imagined possible – ready to pursue any discipline.
