Spring Smooth if Fast Clinic 101

My philosphy which has served me for 20 yrs is that SMOOTH is FAST, build a horse and rider up with a series of drills and excerises that build confidence and stamina and the speed will naturally fall into place. With the drills designed to encourage proper body form through all functions of the turn and preparing for the turns, it lessens the risk of injury through proper muscle development and ligament strength. Barrel horses are athletes and will work hard to give them the best advantage and preperation possible.  I, have given lessons for 15 yrs and have worked with all levels of riders. I enjoy being able to reach people and break things down in ways that make sense and that they can apply. I am not here to give you fancy terms, sound super smart and make anyone feel they are behind. We will work as a team to improve what we can in the time given and send everyone home with tools and homework to make their upcoming season either a success or haul and season their horses for success.
