HORSE CLINIC

Prior to your clinic, determine what concepts or elements you would like to learn. Make a list of all the questions you would like answered. For example, how can I increase suppleness and harmony from my horse? What bit would work best for my horse, and why? What specific cues would I give for a sidepass? Etc.

Thoughts Note Taking Videos Audit

Jot down notes and thoughts that occur throughout the clinic. If you are riding, you could ask a friend to do this!

Immediately following your lesson, capture notes regarding the methods demonstrated and follow up after the clinic with lots of practice. Keep in mind, it may take time to perfect or adopt the new skills you’ve learned!

If allowed, bring a video camera with you and have someone record your instructional session. It’s impossible to remember absolutely everything the clinician says or teaches, so if you have a way to capture the lesson and refer back to it later, you’ll have a better chance of retaining the information.

Never underestimate the value of auditing! You don’t always have to be on a horse to gain useful information. Sometimes watching other riders or horses can be just as valuable.
