The goal of the clinic is to help both riders and auditors to use music in their riding to create more harmony between the horse and rider. Each participant will ride in a session/lesson with Ruth, working on finding music that works for their horse, either for making everyday rides more harmonious, or for the beginnings of a freestyle.
- Groups of two-three will ride together while experimenting with different types of music, learning what works best for their horses and experiencing the harmony of riding in rhythm.
- Participants wishing to use their lesson to develop a freestyle should sign up for an individual session.
