2026 Clinics
This year, we are opening our clinic schedule up to offer clinics at your barn! Below find information on the clinics we are available to offer. If there is another topic you're interested in, we're happy to chat about tailoring a clinic to your needs!
Dressage Show Prep Clinic Are you thinking about showing but aren’t sure where to start? Join us for an afternoon covering everything you need to know to confidently go to your first dressage show.
What We’ll Cover:
How to register for dressage shows
How to sign up and enter competitions
What to wear for your class — what’s required, what’s not, and what happens when rules change (for example when jackets are waived). We also hope to have a tack truck available so you can purchase show clothing if you need it.
Handling your horse at the show (barn etiquette & warm-up ring basics)
Horsemanship skills at shows — including what to do if your horse won’t get on the trailer. Monique will also do a trailering demo.
Braiding demonstration
How long to warm up and how to plan your ride time
What expenses to expect (entries, stalls, hauling, braiding, etc.)
What a show day actually looks like — from arrival to your test ride
A judge’s perspective on the most important things riders should know
We’ll also cover some of the most common issues Heather see, like riders arriving without:
Current memberships
Correct vaccinations
Current Coggins
Paperwork matching the horse’s registered show name
This clinic is designed to help riders feel prepared, organized, and confident before entering the April 6th Dressage for the Cure show. Whether it’s your first show or you just want to feel more organized, we’ll walk you through the entire process.
Lunging for Safety and Connection I get to shows and see the lunging warm-up ring full of bucking, pulling, and wild behavior. Lunging shouldn’t be about winding your horse up even more.
I want to show you my techniques for using lunging to help get your horse’s brain with you, more focused and attentive, instead of more reactive and stressed. The goal is to use lunging as a tool for safety, communication, and getting your horse tuned in to you before you get on. I will give riders the tools and skills they need to feel safe and confident lunging their horse. 🐎
Managing a Spooky Horse at a Show Do you struggle at shows when your horse spooks during your test or won’t even go in the ring?
We will set up a “ride a test” scenario — spooky style. This will simulate the kinds of things that can happen at shows so riders can practice handling them in a supportive environment. We’ll talk about how to manage your test, when it’s appropriate to school, and when it’s better to avoid an issue and keep riding your test.
The goal is to help riders stay confident, make smart decisions in the moment, and keep their test together even when things don’t go perfectly. 🐎
Feel & Timing Clinic Do you… • Struggle to get your horse to respond the way you thought you asked? • Wonder if the way you move or use your aids is unbalancing your horse? • Want to improve your communication—on the ground or in the saddle—without frustrating your horse or yourself?
I created this unique, hands-on experience to help you feel what your horse feels. No horse is required—you’ll be up, moving, and doing exercises that reveal how timing, pressure, and energy really work.
✨ You’ll learn:
What “feel” and “timing” actually mean in practice
How your cues and pressure affect your horse’s balance and response
Why every horse needs a slightly different approach
Practical, non-horse exercises to build better communication skills
We’ll start with a 30-minute demo and discussion, then jump into interactive exercises that will change the way you work with your horse forever. *This clinic can be turned into a 3 part series.
Fire Evacuation Clinic No one ever wants to have to evacuate their property, but unfortunately fire season is becoming worse in Colorado and a successful and safe evacuation requires early planning, preparation, and practice.
Our team has years of experience in planning for and handling evacuations. In this clinic, we’ll walk you through the process of finding and communicating with resources to help you evacuate, how to plan an evacuation from your property and special things to consider in different scenarios, as well as do a trailer loading demonstration and talk about trailer safety and inspections.
