Rider & Auditer Information

Clinic Format:  Two Private Sessions per Rider per Day.   Limited Rider Space.

Clinic start time depends on number of horses.  The schedule will be posted on the website.  The work is determined by the needs of the horse.  The format is 3 days:  Day 1:  Establishing understanding; Day 2:  developing the work; Day 3: refining the results.  Riders will lunge, and work their horses in hand under Meistre Barbier’s instruction at the start of each session followed by under saddle work.  When beneficial, Meistre Barbier may ride your horse in morning.  After lunch, the riders will individually ride under his instruction.  Clinics generally start around 9:00 and run until around 4:30.  We have an hour to an hour and a half lunch break where we go to a nearby restaurant for lunch.
