Online Clinic
The Online Clinic roughly follows the first 8 months of reining horse training. But the emphasis is on a well trained all around horse.
Training your own horse is a long process. There are no quick fixes. You can send your horse to a trainer and pay him for the knowledge he has gained over years of riding. Or you can sign up for our Online Clinic and learn those skills yourself. You will be able to sustain the training, seeins you know how it was achieved. You will gain skills as your horse progresses in training, and you will learn how and why they are important.

As I watch some of the big TV personalities demonstrate training methods for different problems, I always notice that the horses used for the lessons are often already trained. The viewer doesn't get to see what happens when things go wrong.
In the Online Clinic, you get to see what can go wrong, how to handle it, how to reinforce the correction and how to advance the training. And because a well trained horse is ridden by a well trained rider, you will find your own skills and knowledge improve.

Of course, we all know that those of us who love horses would never, ever take any time off for things like family, work, weather, or (God forbid) sickness. But just in case you do absolutely have to take a break, rest assured that my own horse was trained w/ the infallible stop-and-start method too. The pics on this page count the months of actual training... not how long I owned or rode this horse. I regularly take him to work, or go to shows, trail rides, and team pennings, etc, etc. Stuff that interrupts his training process.
So the emails will go out week by week. Partly because I want you to see where you can take your horse when you start again. But the support goes on for an additional year. And when you are actually done with the work the Online Clinic takes you thru, you will receive a Certificate of completion, complete with "Before" and "After" pictures you provide.
