Our horsemanship clinics are a straightforward approach to helping you acheive a higher level of success with your horses. Our clinics are most often focused on reading cattle, herd-work, fence work, boxing, reining, and generally making a good cowhorse. However, seeing as our ranch is right at the base of the mountains, we do also, from time to time, put together a clinic focused on trail riding and general confidence building.
