Ready to strengthen your connection with your horse while boosting your confidence and having a blast? Join us for a 3-hour horsemanship clinic designed for riders of all levels—whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your partnership.
Led by Chriss Cardwell, a talented and experienced horsewoman, this clinic is all about understanding the why behind what we do—with exercises that build from the ground up.
More about Chriss : Chriss has been involved in horses most of her life, she picked up the bug after a girl scout trip to ride horses and developed into a full-time passion. Over the years Chriss has dabbled in many disciplines, including: Hunters, Eventing, Dressage, horse racing, Polo, Cow working and ranch work. While competition has taken a back burner in her adult life, she spends her energy and spare time learning how to help people across disciplines improve their riding by developing feel and understanding of their horses. You will frequently hear her say "I won't teach you how to (jump, dressage, work a cow - you fill in the work!) specifically, the skills you learn with me will make all the interactions with your horse better." Chriss's approach to helping people includes groundwork, how groundwork feeds into work under saddle, problem solving for horses (and humans) who are having trouble, and how to have FUN on and with horses. She has been teaching for close to 25 years, helping beginners through advanced riders with their horses. It doesn't matter what tack you bring, she can help both you and your horse have more fun every day together.
✨ What to Expect:
✅ Groundwork that builds trust and respect
✅ Ridden work that puts your groundwork into action
✅ A confidence-boosting challenge game to wrap it all up with fun and connection
You’ll walk away with practical tools, new insights, and a stronger bond with your horse.
