Belfair WA Attending Nina Halvorson Horsemanship Clinic

A good foundation on any horse can translate to an array of disciplines! In this one-day clinic we will be dedicating 2 hour blocks to three session topics including introduction of Western Dressage, introduction to Working Equitation, and Reining Fundamentals.
