Available Clinic Titles:

• Ride-in-Sync ® Groundwork

  You’ll learn the fundamental ground exercises to establish effective communication with your horse to allow you to better implement the Ride-in-Sync™ exercises when mounted.

• Ride-in-Sync ® Basic Body Positioning

An introduction to the “Ride in Sync” approach. You’ll learn the effects of rider body positioning on horse movement and performance. You’ll begin by warming up your horse with other clinic participants. Then Terry will help you, individually, improve your riding position and practice exercises which will help you feel balanced and in sync with your horse. You’ll gain insights while you ride, and as you learn to notice others riding positions. The principles taught apply to all riding disciplines: dressage, English (hunters), saddle seat, Western (stock seat).

Note:  Ride-in-Sync ® Basic Body Positioning clinics are often combined with Ride-in-Sync ® Groundwork clinics to maximize  results.  Also Ride-in-Sync ® Basic Body Positioning Clinics can also be further customized to specifically  emphasize  Dressage, English/ Hunt Seat and  Western/ Stock Seat.
