Clinics create an environment, unlike any other in the horse world. You have a group of like minded people, focused on similar goals, and learning through multiple mediums. The horses are all in a new environment and are utilizing all their senses as they will become part of two new herds. One herd will be formed between the horse and rider, taking their partnership to a new level. The herd will be formed with the other horses in the clinic, as they experience and conquer new challenges physically and work through their fear boundaries with their increased trust and confidence in their rider. People form lasting friendships with others in the clinic that have similar past experiences and comparable future goals. There is a fellowship and comeraderie formed here that is unique. There is so much more available to people in clinics than in private lessons, but its hard for some to take that first step into a public venue when they are experiencing trouble with their horse, or within themselves.
