HORSEMANSHIP 

From the Horse’s Perspective

with Brent Graef!

(Hosted August 14, 15, & 16, 2009) 

 For those who missed this clinic (and other farms in the area who hosted the Graefs in 2010... ) do NOT miss an opportunity to attend one of his clinics in 2011! After owning, riding, raising, training, and showing horses for 45 years, I thought I knew a lot, but Brent provided new "tools" for me to advance myself and my horses more efficiently! I could not be more pleased or more amazed at how much better my horses respond. (My horses already pretty much do everything I want, but THIS is even better!!) 

I strongly encourage horse owners to take part in a Brent Graef clinic when available: you will L-O-V-E  the new knowledge that will progress you more solidly and effectively in communicating with your horse! THANK YOU KRIS AND BRENT GRAEF for an excellent weekend of learning!

What the clinic is:

FOUNDATION CLASS: (each day 9am - Noon)

Brent teaches horsemanship through feel. Learn to earn your horse’s trust, offer softness, fairness, and clarity. This class is about half groundwork; half riding (walk & trot). Start the process of getting your reins (or lead rope!) connected through the horse’s mind to his feet. This class is perfect for either greener riders, young horses, or serious students of horsemanship who understand the value of getting the foundation more solid.

(Colts are welcome in the groundwork portion of the class, but horses in the riding portion must already be going under saddle.)

ADVANCING CLASS: (each day 1:30 - 4:30)

Ride at the walk, trot, and canter. Explore soft feel, softness through transitions, cadence, control of the hindquarters and forehand, and lateral moves. You will develop the awareness, skill, and understanding to become the partner your horse has been waiting for. Your horse will become softer, more supple, and better balanced.

Brent has an amazing way of creating a comfortable learning environment and bringing out that special connection we all strive for in our relationships. Don't let your horse miss the opportunity of you working with Brent!
