WA: Improve Maneuverability and Connection Through Working Equitation 5 Day Retreat - With Robert and Janet Phinney of Inspired Horseman
2022-09-05 - 2022-09-09 | Inspired Horseman LLC, 124 Moonlight Ln, Dayton, WA, 99328, United States
Experiencing more FUN using obstacles and cattle is our focus for this week.
Developing good communication between you and your horse so that these things become easy, and harmonious. And did we mention, FUN!!!
Prior cattle or working equitation experience welcome but not necessary. We are very good at helping you and your horse to be comfortable with cattle. No “ram and jam” here.
Prerequisite: You are comfortable with Walk, Trot, Canter and Halt.
Expanding our awareness of both ourselves and our horses always opens new doors to more joy. It takes both knowledge and opportunity to create experiences and understanding that bring an idea or wish into our reality.
We love using Working Equitation as a platform, and French Classical Dressage as a guiding method, along with following our hearts to uniquely create our ideal partnerships and bring out our own “Art” if you will.
Our facility has all that is necessary to provide each horse and rider with just the perfect opportunities. In addition to an indoor and outdoor arena, we have fields, forests and cattle.
Each day will include private and group lessons, riding out or working cattle.
We enjoy dinners together as well.
See our website for more information about our facility and offerings.

CA: Working Equitation Clinic with Fred Bernardino
2022-10-15 - 2022-10-16 | White Star Ranch, 4246 Heath Road, Bakersfield, CA, 93314, United States
Working Equitation (WE) is a fun and exciting way to improve your riding tact, geometry, fluidity of transitions, contact, suppleness, connection to the horse, and your horse’s confidence.
Almost anyone can participate in this clinic on any type of horse and in any kind of tack. This clinic is best if you:

Want to take your first steps into the WE ring
Need to gain confidence in the saddle.
Want to switch up your horse’s routine to keep things fun.
Are looking to have serious improvements in your riding.

Frederico Bernardino is a rider and trainer from Portugal who grew up working side by side with working equitation champions as well as classical dressage legends like the Valenca family. During the past two years, he did tests in dressage and in WE in Portugal while working for World and European Champion David Oliveira and his brother European and Portuguese Champion and Reserve Portguguese Champion (respectively) Diogo Oliveira.
His goal is to help riders in his clinics understand WE through the original Portuguese aspect and for riders to have fun while doing it.
