Over the last 15 years, Amanda has found that clinics are the most effective way for riders and horses to progress. In a clinic, riders arrive for a dismounted meeting on the morning of the first day and share information about their goals. They work with Amanda individually and all participants are welcome to watch sessions. There are review meetings and dismounted sessions to go deeper into topics that are chosen by the whole group.
This approach provides time to absorb the content of the individual sessions as well as an opportunity to review different problems and their solutions. It also creates a very supportive environment where participants learn from each other. Right from the outset of every clinic we encourage a very positive environment to support all the participants.
The result is that riders leave a clinic with more knowledge than they would gain from a private coaching session.
Clinics are also a lot more fun than private coaching. They put like-minded people together and often lead to long lasting friendships.
