Barb Apple has generously offered to teach a one day clinic and donate part of the proceeds to SAFE!!! ;D If you are not familiar with her she is a WONDERFUL trainer as well as a fascinating human being. Her background is Natural Horsemanship/Parelli(level 4 although she is no longer one of his clinicians), Tom Dorrance, Dennis Reis, Sally Swift(centered riding) among others. She has given hundreds of clinics in the US and Europe. I had the privilege of taking a private lesson with her last year. She worked with me and a particularly tough mare that I had taken in as a rescue and after 2 hours of groundwork (a lot of the work was on me LOL) she completely changed my relationship with that mare. It went from a dangerously adversarial interaction, to a soft willing partnership and that mare remained that way from that day forward. Barb has offered to give whatever we would like in the clinic, either groundwork, centered riding or obstacle coursework and she will tailor the difficulty level to the riders that sign up. It would be an all day clinic, with 6-8 riders being required at $215 per person. She will donate a portion of those fees to SAFE and 1/2 of any auditing fees($25) would also go to SAFE. If you would like to learn more about Barb her website is www.naturalriding.com

I believe it will be held at Jaime's but Barb's ranch in McKenna is an option as well......

hey Chelsea- will this be down at Barb's new place? My Cabo is doing to be right next door so that would be perfect. But I also wanted to add that I am totally willing to play with a SAFE or any horse for adoption at the clinic. So if there is one we'd like to bring that needs a human partner for the clinic, I am offering my services Just let me know! -Ally
