- **Event Description**: 🎉 GRAND OPENING CELEBRATION
Whichampton Equestrian is celebrating its grand opening this August—and featuring Libby Lyman at the festivities! She's traveled the country teaching her "gentle approach to horsemanship" for decades—and now she's finally coming to Western MA as the featured clinician for this exciting new venue's grand opening month. This is your chance to work with Libby Lyman without traveling out of state.

🌟 LIBBY'S FIRST WESTERN MA CLINIC EVER
After years of teaching across the country, Libby is bringing her renowned approach to our region for one weekend only.

🌟 LIMITED AVAILABILITY
With only 8 individual sessions daily and limited enrollment, this is an exclusive opportunity you don't want to miss.

🌟 RIGHT IN YOUR BACKYARD
No need to trailer hours away or travel out of state. World-class horsemanship instruction at a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility.

🌟  WHAT MAKES THIS CLINIC DIFFERENT
Most clinics teach you what to DO with your horse. This clinic teaches you how to UNDERSTAND your horse—so you can problem-solve on your own long after the clinic ends.

Instead of fixing your horse's problems, Libby teaches YOU to:
- Recognize what your horse is actually communicating
- See situations from your horse's perspective
- Support them in thinking through challenges
- Set things up so discoveries become their idea
This isn't mechanical technique. It's genuine partnership.

✨ EIGHT INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS DAILY
Everyone gets substantial focused one-on-one time with Libby each day. This isn't group work with occasional attention—it's personalized instruction tailored to YOUR horse and YOUR specific challenges.

✨ VERSATILE FACILITIES
Work in the environment that best serves your horse:
- Indoor arena for focused work regardless of weather
- Outdoor arena for open-air sessions
- Trail access for real-world applications
- Round pen for groundwork and liberty
This flexibility means you can address actual challenges, not just arena exercises.

✨ WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This clinic is perfect for you if:
- You're new to Libby's approach and want to experience her teaching
- You have specific challenges to work through (anxiety, resistance, confusion)
- You're ready to shift from forcing outcomes to genuine partnership
- You want tools that work across all situations, not just in the arena
All disciplines welcome: trail, dressage, western, jumping, pleasure—Libby's principles apply to every style of riding.
All levels welcome: green horses through advanced, confident riders through anxious ones. Libby adjusts her teaching to each horse-and-rider pair.
