Improve Your Horsemanship or Take Your Cow Work to the Next Level
Choose the focus area that best aligns with your goals, and leave inspired, empowered, and with a clear understanding of how to extend the benefits of this training over the long-run.
Session sizes are limited to ensure plenty of one-on-one attention from Jess.
>>> OPTION A: Effective Horsemanship (Sat. and Sun. 9 am-12 pm)
- Every ride, you're either schooling or "unschooling" your horse. Too often, we focus on how our horses look vs. whether our aids (and our horse's response) are accurate and effective. No matter your riding style or skill level, no matter whether you're riding a green horse or trained schoolmaster, this session helps you refocus on what's truly important.
- Jess will share proven building blocks of excellent horses and riders and show you how to add them to every ride, including clear aids and expectations, seat and leg control, gait quality, rider mindset, and much more. You'll also be encouraged to share specific issues you and/or your horse have been experiencing, and Jess will provide actionable advice and exercises to help you troubleshoot and remove your roadblocks (e.g. trailer loading, shying, dullness).
>>> OPTION B: Cow Work Level 2 (Sat. and Sun. 1 pm-5 pm)
- If you've attended Jess's Level 1 clinics, Saturday cow classes, or have cow working experience of your own, this Level 2 class is for you. We'll build on the foundation you've already developed with your horse and help both of you challenge yourselves to work cows in new ways through new (and fun!) exercises.
- But, don't worry. You don't need to be a professional or competitor to join our Level 2 class. It's still all about having fun, staying safe, and helping you achieve your personal definition of success!
*SOME prior cow working experience needed (for horse or rider). Registrants should have ridden in one of Jess's Cow Work Basics Level 1 clinics or have prior cow working experience of their own. Cows are provided by Jess Holloway and humanely cared for--and not overworked.
Vaccines: ALL riders need to send proof of Flu/Rhino and negative Coggins. Strangles are not required unless there is a local outbreak. Riders will be informed if such an event occurs.
