HARMONY WITH HORSES

“Harmony with Horses” is an opportunity to gain firsthand experience in the understanding of equine communication.  Held on a monthly schedule at the BraveHearts Therapeutic Riding and Education Center in Harvard, IL, this program is hosted by originator and nationally known clinician Tom Chambers.

These programs are designed for horse owners and non-owners alike.  Participants are encouraged to bring their own horses (stabling available) or to use one of the gentle horses owned by BraveHearts.  There will be three different one-day clinics held on a regular basis that will guide students through specific areas of horsemanship:

1.      Understanding horse psychology and equine communication.

2.      Overcoming fear and increasing confidence with horses.

3.      Working as a partner with your horse.

These clinics will use exercises developed by Tom Chambers to teach horse and rider at the same time, and will include both ground work techniques and mounted lessons.

In the “partnership” clinic, the addition of calf sorting will allow riders to understand the concept of working in harmony with your horse for a common goal.

These one-day clinics will start at 9:00 AM and will conclude at 4:00 PM.  Lunch will be included, and Tom Chambers will personally instruct all classes. Coggins tests will  be required for all horses being trailered in. All clinics will take place at BraveHearts Therapeutic Riding and Education Center in Harvard, IL.  Cost for each one-day clinic is $125 per rider, and each class will be limited to 8 students. 

Dates for 2010 clinics to be announced.
