- Clinic and Demonstration Topic
Ride In Sync I: Basic Body Positioning
The favorite to describe the horse and rider philophy of Ride In Sync. This clinic is an invitation and introduction. Participants will begin to notice the effects of rider body positioning on horse movement and performance. Riders will begin by warming up with other clinic participants. Then Myers will help each individual to notice their riding position and practice exercises which will improve balance and horse performance. Participants will gain insights while riding, and by observing others’ riding positions. The principles taught apply to all riding disciplines: dressage, English (hunters), saddle seat, Western (stock seat), etc.
Materials Needed: Riding arena, 5-6 beginning or amateur riders with dependable mounts who may need fine tuning (this is not a horse training clinic). Two cordless mikes. 4 orange cones.
1 to 1.5 hours.
Ride In Sync II: Refining Movement
Participants will refine skills and exercises learned in Basic Body Positioning. This clinic may include pattern work to build experience with transitions. Myers will explain and demonstrate more advanced techniques experienced riders can practice to refine their riding and top the judges’ lists.
Materials Needed: Arena, 5-6 experienced and advanced riders of any discipline. Two cordless mikes. 4 orange cones.
1 to 1.5 hours.
Ride In Sync III: Trail Obstacles
Participants will implement the Ride-in-Sync exercises while practicing trail obstacles matched to their experience (trot poles, box, lope poles, serpentine, sidepasses, gate, back throughs, dog leg, etc.). This is Myers’ specialty–his horses
are known for their trail training and patience.Materials Needed: Arena, Trail accessories (gate, 10-12 poles, bridge, cones). Two cordless mikes. 5-6 riders of varied riding experience (2 beginners, 2 intermediate, 2 experienced show people).
1 to 1.5 hours.

Participants will understand how their body position—even while on the ground—can affect their horse’s appearance and showmanship score. As a long time 4-H judge, Myers understands how simple movements can impact a horse’s chance of winning.
Materials Needed: Arena, 5-6 showmen with horses in halters. Two cordless mikes.
1 to 1.5 hours.
Ride In Sync IV
Participants will implement the Ride-in-Sync™ exercises while practicing horsemanship pattern elements, focusing on transitions, lead changes, circles, etc. This is the clinic people want–lead changes are often a huge challenge for riders who are new to showing in horsemanship.

Materials Needed: Arena, 5-6 experienced and advanced riders of any discipline. These riders may be the same as those in Ride In Sync II. Two cordless mikes. 4 orange cones.
