Great time at the Fall C.O.R.E. Rider Clinic!

Yesterday was the fall C.O.R.E. Rider Clinic and everyone had a great time!! The weather was beautiful as riders were split into to groups for a morning and afternoon session. During the un-mounted phase riders focused on their shoulders and hand positioning and awareness. Then it was carried over directly as it relates to riding when riders paired-up on the medicine balls with a set of reins. One rider got to be "the horse" and the other was holding the reins just as they would in the saddle. Riders were able to explore motion, tension and levels of contact as the horse would feel. Pretty neat! After that everyone had a semi-private lesson in the saddle to work on their shoulders and hand positioning while riding the flat. Each rider did very well and we saw huge improvements! Way to go everyone! Thank you for coming and we look forward to seeing you at the next clinic!
