TESTIMONIALS
"The best time I have had since I moved to Texas! I liked that the clinic was limited to only a hand full of people as that gave the trainer time to attend to each participant. I would definitely do it again and tell my friends! I had a great time and I am looking forward to the next one." - Melissa
"I had such a great time on Saturday! I am really sore today, so I know I got my money's worth. Everyone was so nice, and lunch was delicious. Michael is an amazing teacher, I really learned a lot.Looking forward to seeing everyone again soon! I'm telling my cowgirl friends about the clinics and expect to attend a few more. Many thanks for the fun and hospitality!" - Amy
"Thank you for the pictures and we did have a great time. We are talking about coming to another one and bringing some more friends. The clinic was so good and the food was perfect. You have such a beautiful place. I'm sure you will be seeing me again." -Christy
"I just wanted to say thanks again for the great day...it just couldn't have been better. The clinic was great....lunch was terrific...and everyone loved the scare crow (I was especially glad to see that Michael was working for a $1 a day now!). We all came away from the day much better horse people than we were when we got there. I know I certainly did. I've been to a lot of horse events over the years...and this was best. Being able to work hands on is always better than as an observer and no matter what happened in the arena or on the trail Michael put a positive spin on it and never got impatient with horse or rider. Sign me up for the next one!" -Chuddie
"Thank you for letting us come out and observe the Horsemanship Clinic on June 14th. Michael Goheen did a great job and we did learn a few tricks to help with our horses. I look forward to participating in the July Horsemanship Clinic." -Rusty & Lynn
The clinic was very well done. You receive lots of information and have fun doing the exercises. These were all exercises that really helped out me and my horse. The trails were really well done. The trails provided a variety of opportunities – horses being close to one another, an opportunity for horses to relax and just walk along, circles, straightaways, controlling your horse through winding paths (by applying the arena exercises), small log jumps, working gates, rollbacks along fences, ravenes and uphill/downhill work. The clinic is well worth the money and provides a full day of fun learning. The clinic is great for either green or experienced horses because each exercise can be made as challenging as each rider's level. -Elizabeth H.
