2 Day Weekend Clinics

Building a Solid Foundation for You and Your Horse
Levels 1 and Levels 2

There's no such thing as a "perfect horse" but the more we learn about communicating with our horses and how to read their feedback we can achieve a relationship with our horses that will be perfect at times.

Join us for two days per month every other month at StoneCreek. Arvell will help you learn to train your horse, have a better understanding of your horse, and learn to effectively communicate. You will receive plenty of one on one coaching and benefit from observing others as well. Each two day session will send you home with a renewed confidence and a plan of how to proceed with your horse.

Join us for two days every other month and Arvell will not only help you train your horse, but have a better understanding of them, and learn how to effectively communicate.

The better understanding we have of our horses and the better we get at reading their feedback, the better relationship we have with all horses.
