Balance and Confidence Clinic at Bit of Honey Training

Sept 4-5, just a few short weeks away, we will be hosting a Bit of Honey clinic using the Balance Rider.  Many of you have ridden this delightful (aka challenging) piece of equipment in my tack room, and now we have put together a weekend to let you really experience how the sensations and perceptions of riding can be altered by heightening your sense of seated balance.

Friday night will be desserts, a meet and greet, and getting to know Jim Lauter, who developed the Balance Rider.  I've known Jim for many years and he is fun to hang out with as well as being knowledgeable!  Saturday will be a series of appointments.  You will come tack up your horse (or one of mine if you need to borrow a lesson horse), then work on the Balance Rider in the tack room with Jim for a half hour.  Immediately following your session with Jim you will mount your horse and have 45 min. of riding instruction with me in the arena.  It is fun and interesting to see how the Balance Rider changes how you perceive your horse and his movement, and how that increases your confidence.

Costs are $100 to participate in the full clinic and ride, and to audit the entire clinic is $20.  Let me know if you have questions or would like to get signed up.  Space for riders is limited, so please RSVP quickly, but pass the flyer and info along to others who may be interested in participating.  Looking forward to seeing you there!
