Join us for an exclusive two-day clinic designed to help you move beyond fear, deepen your connection with your horse, and build lasting confidence—both in and out of the saddle.

What You’ll Learn:
Understand how your nervous system processes fear—and how to work with it, not against it
Gain tools to regulate anxiety (yours and your horse’s) and build emotional resilience
Strengthen connection through mindful groundwork and horse-centered horsemanship
Walk away with real, doable strategies to take home and use immediately
Ideal for:
Riders managing fear or anxiety
Horse owners with anxious or reactive horses
Anyone seeking deeper understanding and calm connection in their equine partnership
Clinic Includes:
2 Lectures/Discussions on fear, emotional regulation, and the nervous system
2 Horsemanship Demonstrations (calmness, signs of processing, trust-building)
2 Guided Group Sessions (mindful groundwork, connection-building exercises)
2 Semi-Private Lessons (riding or groundwork)
Optional: Up to 2 Private Sessions with Dr. Paul upon request
Stall + Bedding
Daily Lunch
Friday Cocktail Hour/Meet & Greet with appetizers and presentations (optional add-on)
Spots are limited to just 8 participants to ensure one-on-one instruction and support.
Whether you’re navigating fear, working through past challenges, or simply want a stronger, more peaceful relationship with your horse—this clinic is for you.
