Basic Clinic:
– Need to have mastered focus for relaxation and focus and bend both at home and away from home by clinic time (you should have 6 months from registration to clinic – so plenty of time). If riding, need to have mastered the bending for relaxation at the walk and trot and home and away from home if you have not accomplished this by the time you register for the clinic, please list your plan to accomplish this before the clinic**

Yes. One of the principles of training is “Change 1 Thing at a Time” and taking ahorse to a new place (1 change) with a lot of other horses (2 changes) while the handler is nervous about being in front of Warwick and a crowd (3 changes) is too many changes to be fair to your horse. If you do not do this, then you will be working on it during the clinic.

One of the principles of training is Change 1 Thing at a Time. By doing this work at home first, then perfecting it away from home, your horse will be prepared to work on furthering their education at the clinic.  If you don’t, you will likely work on it at the clinic.

In the past, Warwick has spent most of his time at clinics working on the very first thing. This takes quite a bit of time and many times this is all that gets accomplished at the clinic. These new requirements are to help everyone get the most benefit out of both the subscription and the clinic. This includes other participants who came prepared but get held back because others in their group have not worked on the basics.  In saying that, if your horse needs to work on these things at the clinic, we will be working on them at the clinic.

Only 12 participants are allowed in each clinic. Participants are divided into 4 groups of 3 and go for 2 hours each.
