Clinics
with Steve
Steve regularly holds 2 and 3 day clinics throughout New Zealand which
are popular with both riders and spectators alike.

The
first day of the clinic consists of gaining discipline and a mutual
respect with your horse. This is done by teaching horses and riders
basic groundwork manouevers that create the foundation to encourage
your horse to move more freely, confidently and softly under saddle
on the second and third days of the clinic.
This
building block programme develops softness and a suppleness to the
riders hand and leg. Common dressage movements such as leg yielding,
turn on the forehand and turn on the haunches (pirouettes), rein back
and many more all become quite simple exercises for even the greenest
of horses when the right initial foundations are put in place.

These small, personal
clinics offer a friendly and easy learning environment and are suitable
for any level of horse and rider from all disciplines.
One
on one sessions are also available during some clinics.

This check list features some of the initial work that is covered
during a clinic with Steve. Once these techniques have been acheived,
more advanced work can be undertaken. The exercises mentioned in this
check list may not make any sense or be clear how to acheive them
unless you have already attended a clinic!
