FARMLANE CAMPGROUND, GRASS LAKE, MICHIGAN
WATERLOO RECREATION AREA
Three days of demonstrating and teaching you as an owner, how to build a better relationship
with your horse or mule! Jacob will show you how to make a willing partner and give you the
skills you need to progress! Softness and a willing attitude will be the key to your success!
Ground work, saddle and trail work.
Ground work: We do just a few basic exercises to gain control and respect from our equine. We
teach them how to respond in a quiet and soft manner to make them safer and more enjoyable
on the trail.
Saddle Work: We will transfer the exercises from our ground work sessions to saddle work and
continue with the quiet and soft approach. We will work on safety and confidence, while
maneuvering in an individual and group scenerial of equine, in hand, saddle and on the trail.
Trail Work: We will again, transfer our arena work to the trail. We will work on safely passing
and changing positions on the trail, maneuvering obstacles and building confidence.
Everything we do in this clinic will be for the specific purpose of assisting you in dealing with
whatever issue you personally may be having with your mule or horse. Jacob will help you teach
your mule to back with minimal pressure from the ground and from their back, then he will show
you how to use it to correct your own specific problem, whatever that may be.
Our number one priority for this clinic is SAFETY!
While we are on clinic time, Jacob's attention will be focused on those who are participants.
When on the trail ride, participants will ride up front and together where he can coach them as
needed. Anybody that wants to follow is welcome, but you are kindly asked to stay behind to
allow me to efficiently and safely coach and assist those who are participating in the clinic.
