Clinics and Seminars

Movement in Horses" 
One week clinic from July 9th to July 14th, Columbus, NC

Klaus

For over 25 years, the Schoneichs have taught their system of straightness training at the Center for Anatomically Correct Horsemanship in Germany.
They have over the years trained or rehabilitated thousands of incorrectly moving horses, from top FEI Grand Prix dressage horses and "problem" horses to green horses.
Their method focuses on ensuring that all horses can move freely and correctly, and thus remain healthy and happy performers throughout their lives.

In this clinic, the participants will learn to use "straightening" groundwork and gymnastic training as well as lungeing and riding techniques to counteract the horse's natural inclination to bear more weight on its forehand, and teach the horse to move balanced with an upward swinging back.

Come and learn how to permanently understand and correct your horse's balance and movement!
