- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 05 Feb, 2026 at 11:00 pm – Sun, 08 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 am
- **Event Description**: Do you have a plan for your horse's continued development?

Have a newly started horse?

Designed for horses that are already under saddle, to keep things on track and further develop your progress,… or if needed get them on track.

During these three days we will evaluate their current developmental stage, highlight any gaps in their fundamentals and introduce you to a plan to build a solid foundation going forwards through our foundation programme. Both you and your horse will be learning and progressing.

Limited to 8 students: The days start at 09:00 together without horses to develop a plan, gain an understanding of what we're going to do and why.  

The rest of the morning will be spent on essential ground work that directly relates to riding. This will be done as one group.

After lunch the groups will be split in two, each having a two hour session under instruction while the other group observes and learns. 

Each day finishing about 17:00

The format is subject to change as Russell will be gauging what he feels will give each participant the optimum benefit from their time during this clinic, taking into account safety, horse’s ability, rider’s ability and what he feels will give the best experience. 

6 - 8 February 2025 
Cost $560 

Spectator position are available; $70 per day
