We offer clinics at the farm, but we also teach clinics at expos and are available to come to your farm.
CLINICS AT EXPOS: I teach clinics at expos, whenever offered the opportunity. I have taught three different sessions. What I teach is extension of the program, that we use at Carousel Farm to first teach our rider good balance and control of use of aids, then to teach the horses to be very ridable using very basic exercises and the third session is about our program for starting and improving our young horses over fences with an empahsis on jumping gymnastics.
TOMMIE CLINICS AT CAROUSEL FARM: Tommie teaches two clinics a year at our farm on trick riding and training. My mom and I teach two bridleless and jumping clinics at our farm.
BRIDLELESS/ JUMPING CLINICS AT CAROUSEL FARM: We host several clinics a year at Carousel Farm. At these clinics, we teach flatwork for the performance or bridleless horse. We teach some basic tricks. We also go through our program for starting and/or improving the over fences horses. Riders usually bring their horse as well as ride Carousel Farm horses. We tailor each session to the needs of those in attendance.
BRIDLELESS/ JUMPING CLINICS AT YOUR FARM: We are also available to do a clinic at your farm tailored to your specific needs like starting young horses, bridleless riding and/or improving the over fences horse.

Session I: Starting the Young or Beginner Rider |
| This one hour clinic session is broken into three parts. The first part is an instructional segment that discusses the three most critical skills for a young rider balance, strength and feel. In this segment, she demonstrate various exercises, primarily lounge line exercises that can be used to develop these skills. In the second segment, she does a demonstration of backyard vaulting, which is a very fun activity , which is also great for balance, strength and feel development. In the third, segment, she takes of the brildle and does a flat and jumping bridleless riding performance on her pony. She rides her white Welch-quarter pony..”Puddles” for this clinic |
|
Session II: Flatwork Routine for the Bridleless or Performance Horse |
| This clinic includes a discussion and demonstration of the four basic lateral and longitudal exercises done at w-t-c every time we ride, to get prepare our horses for bridleless or performance work. This demo concludes with bridleless riding and jumping demo on “Rosie” and “Jacquoe”. Lizzy and her mom alternate the demonstration of the exercises on “Schoenrosa” and “Plain as Bay”, respectively. |
|
Session III: Starting or Improving the Over Fences Horse |
| In this demonstration, Lizzy starts with a very quick review of our flatwork. She then discusses our progression for starting and/or improving the over fences horse including free jumping, trot fences and several other key exercises, that we use. The bulk of the clinic is spent demonstrating the construction of a jumping gymnastic from rails on the ground to a triple gymnastic with a crossrail to two 3” + oxers with a discussion of how gymnastics can be used to improve your horses jumping technique. Lizzy concludes this clinic with a bridleless riding demo on Rosie that includes jumping the gymnastic bridleless. |
