ABOUT Tudo abrangente Horsemanship

Rather than teaching a “Method” Clay prefers to teach people how to understand the horses mental and  physical state, helping the horse feel content and move with balance, which allows the horse to learn  and respond. 

Based on sound principles his approach can help all stages of riders from any discipline  develop effective ways to communicate with the horse, building a meaningful partnership, helping both  the horse and rider reach their full potential.  

The horse must first become gentle, trusting and confident in both you and within himself.  This is accomplished through building a relationship, friendship and partnership. 

Doing this requires us to consistently practice and put into play good leadership skills. It demands of us to face and work through our discomforts, pains, fears, and feelings of inadequacies, and come to know ourselves and the horse for what we truly are—as horses, humans, and as individuals. 

is about showing you how to see the many details that are key to a meaningful level of communication between horse and rider. Regardless of your chosen riding discipline, solid foundation principles are necessary and universal to producing good horsemanship. Principles of quality horsemanship include:  

• The ability to feel what your horse is thinking and what physical balance his body is in--so you know how to help him.

• The know-how that creates a relaxed and willing partnership between you and your horse.

• The skills to overcome mental and physical resistance which are often at the root of problems--big or small.

teach your horse to:

• Focus, be obedient, and develop a sound work ethic.

• Be content and relaxed with energetic, forward, supple movement.

• Balance their body in ways that produce impulsion, softness, and preparation for any advanced maneuver.

• ​Trust you, respect you, and have harmony in your relationship.
