Horsemanship Clinics

at

Rising K Ranch

   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.

General Confidence Building in Horse and Rider

September 29, 2023

 

   The Trail Course Horsemanship Clinic is taught by myself, Klay Klemic, and is intended to teach you about a horse's mentality in general and what you can do to build his confidence and trust in you in all situations. We will be particul;arly focused on trails, which include varying degrees of steep terrain, stream crossings, as well as our trail course/obstacle course which includes wooden bridges, ramps, tires, tarps, logs, flags, and gates. 

   Primarily, we want you to understand body control on your horse well enough that all of these obstacles and situations are easy to handle for both horse and rider.
