Joel Conner will be coming back to Port Orchard, September 18-20, 2026!
Self Carriage - without tools or props...
Peace - mental, physical, emotional...
Empowerment...
Confidence - in you, their environment, and themselves...
These are just a few benefits horses can gain from their humans working with Joel Conner Horsemanship - are you interested in offering these things to YOUR horse?
Joel is a remarkable horseman & teacher whose dedication to empowering horses through classic vaquero technique is unparalleled. Following the traditions of Ray Hunt, Tom & Bill Dorrance, and Buck Brannaman, Joel is passionate about teaching new students and experienced hands alike.
There will be two classes offered, each spanning 3 hours each of the three days. Each class (groundwork or riding) is $475.00. Auditors are welcome as well! The auditing fee is $30 for each day (15 & under free).
Groundwork 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Friday through Sunday:
Learn to be the leader that your horse desires while helping them to move in balance and become light and responsive to your feel. Great for green horses, troubled horses, or ANY horse you'd like to deepen your connection with.
Riding 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Friday through Sunday:
The same movements and principles from the groundwork session translate to working under saddle. Focus is on balance, lightness, and refinement.
Joel's clinics provide a fantastic opportunity to learn about building a responsive (rather than reactive) partnership with your horse in which they are willing, engaged, and content in their work. Giving your horse confidence in YOU as their leader will, in turn, offer them a sense of peace and safety - even enjoyment! - when you work together.
This horsemanship is ideal for EVERY riding discipline, from the casual trail rider to the dressage rider or barrel racer. If this sounds like the kind of partnership you are looking for, come on out and ride with us in September!
Please email the clinic sponsor, Lisa Garr, with any questions or for more information on signing up and reserving a spot in one or both of these classes. A deposit of $250.00 per class is required to reserve your space (refundable until July 23, 2026) and the balance will be due two weeks prior to the clinic.
Limited indoor stalls or temporary outdoor pens (12x12) will be available, or you are welcome to haul in each day.
