Learn first-hand how you can create a deep and lasting relationship with your horse.

We are offering bitless riding clinics throughout the year. The focus of these clinics is to teach riders and their horses to move together so that bits are unnecessary. Consider for a moment, when we humans move through our lives, we do not change direction by twisting our heads around. We move from our hips. Hip movements spread down to our feet and up our spine through our shoulders, our neck, to the top of our head. Horses move the same way. The bitless riding clinics teach you and your horse to move hips, legs, shoulders and head together! Like ballroom dancers, your movements will become fluid and effortless. You and your horse will have more fun than ever before!

Participants  learn:

• How to become a human partner on the ground and while mounted
• Riding bitless
• Riding from the seat

Bitless horse-rider teams practice ground & flat work, trail-riding, and traversing obstacles. An action-packed two-day experience!.

What People Are Saying

“It was very creative, and it was beyond what I would have expected. It helped me to understand the effects of my weight and shifting of balance on my horse. Also, giving him a verbal cue to get his attention, and changing my energy to go with him into the transition.
Christina

“It helped me to connect with myself as well as my horse. I learned to be with my horse instead of on him.”
Kim

“It was a re-awakening of things I had forgotten since childhood. The next day as we rode up and down on the trail, my connection with my horse was much better. “
Maryland

“I had never attended anything like this. Everyone including the horses were having fun. No one chased, frightened or insisted that the horses do anything. We just played together. I was amazed at the beauty of the horses and riders moving together.”
