It has been seven years since we started doing our clinics and we are very proud of the response we get every year. They are designed to give you a number of hands-on methods that we have found to be successful on mules and horses. Even though we have geared our techniques more with mules in mind. We started out getting more horses than mules, now we have come full circle and now get mostly mules, but still leave our clinics open to you horse folk too.
We offer a combination of mulemanship and trail riding, with a cattle drive and a ride in the mountains, geared to cover just about whatever you might need. Plus you get the advantage of two clinicians to work with you.
We touch on basics, from tack to feeding, to what to look for when purchasing. Then do some time in the arena and round pen working on ground work, riding skills, getting a rein, stop and back, sensitizing and de-sensitizing, and dealing with scarry objects (de-boogerizing as we like to call it). Our trail course and mounted games help to build a ton of confidence in you and your mount. All of this is geared toward getting respect and establishing a partnership between you and your animal.
Things vary from clinic to clinic but we try to make it a fun and relaxing time with a few meals thrown in.
We do private, semi-private and group clinics, all year long, hey we are flexible and try our best to accomadate your needs.
At most of our locations camping and turn out for your animals are available. Elecrical hook-ups, stalling or individual pens are limited, All at an minimal additional price.
Plus we have mules and horses available to lease for the clinics and the trail rides.
