Often imitated, never duplicated. Attend THE BEST obstacle clinic focused on horsemanship.
Whether you are new to the world of obstacles, struggling with them, or are already hooked, you will benefit from the increased trust and confidence that working obstacles using our Four Pillars of Horsemanship brings to your relationship with your horse. We offer two different ways for you and your equine to participate in our infamous, introductory obstacle program that is appropriate for absolutely everyone (age 13+ please).
This is our go-at-your-own-pace program. We've broken each obstacle type into it's own clinic that will take less than a day to complete. You can attend these obstacle-specific clinics in any order you choose, attend one or all, whatever you want. Many past participants of our two-day clinic attend these obstacle specific clinics to get more practice or support on a specific obstacle type. If you haven't worked with us before and are on the fence about committing to a longer program, this is one of the best ways to get to know us and our methods.
This clinic is all about obstacles that require you to go on, over, under or through it, like a bridge, and is suitable for both in-hand and in-saddle participation. In other words, you do not need to be able to ride to benefit from our program! In fact, you will often see our yearlings being used as demo horses. Participation in our two day clinic, or completion of all four, one-day courses is a prerequisite if you wish to attend Obstacles Unleashed.
Past participants tell us that our obstacle program is TRANSFORMATIVE and many choose to join us time and time again and again because, as with all our clinics, it is always about you, your horse, and where you are in your journey. We customize the exercises and the obstacles available at the clinic for that clinic's unique set of participants.
All disciplines and all levels (age 13+) are welcome!
Young horses welcome!
Well behaved stallions welcome!
Overnight pens and dry camping available.
Limited to just 8 participants to ensure you and your horse get the 1:1 instruction and support you deserve.
