Clinic days begin with an unmounted workshop explaining the 4 Basics and exploring Sally Swift’s exercises for grasping and experiencing the concepts.  These sessions are usually an hour to an hour and a half in length, and extremely helpful to riders as they don’t have to consider the willfulness or distractible behavior of the horse. A series of up to 4 or 5   75- minute group riding lessons will follow for the rest of the clinic day.  The groups are usually 2-4 riders; ability levels of horse and/or rider should be matched as closely as possible to ensure riders have the best experience they can.  Each rider will be riding in 2 sessions per day, that is 3 hours per day of instruction!

 Everyone will also receive a Certificate of Participation, which will indicate how many days they attended.
