March 2021 Retraining your OTT Standardbred Clinic with Dr Kate Fenner

This two day clinic was designed to build happy and confident off-the-track riding horses.

The aim was to help participants to take their horse to the next level, whether he or she is just off the track or a seasoned performer.

If your horse lacks confidence or gets anxious at times. If you would you like your horse to be more relaxed, soft and attentive. These clinics teach you how to optimize your horse’s learning experience by engaging them with the lesson and prioritizing relaxation.

The clinics are designed specifically for off the track Standardbreds however all equine breeds and participants can benefit and are most welcome to attend or fence sit!
