To give students and their horses more of his undivided time and attention, and thus yielding greater results,  Chris has shifted away from group clinics.  Horsemanship clinics are now formatted to allow 3 Private 6o minute sessions per day .  Though Chris is focusing on just one student at a time, each session still allows participants and spectators to enjoy the camaraderie of kindred horse spirits while they gain a broad spectrum of insight into the training and schooling of a wide variety of  horses.   In other words, it is still a fun Chris Irwin clinic in every sense of the word other than the fact there will never be more than one horse in the arena being coached by Chris at any given time. 

In the private sessions, students may opt to focus on groundwork, riding or driving or perhaps a variation of the three.  You are welcome to reserve as many sessions as you like throughout the course of the scheduled clinic days.   You are also welcome to bring more than one horse or lease a horse from the hosting facility in order to develp your expertise with different horses in any type of groundwork, riding or driving,. 

All disciplines, English or western, and all breeds, ages, gender and temperament of horse are welcome.  Spectators are not only welcome, but encouraged, as they will have a ring-side seat to experiencing the process of horses being trained or schooled in a way that brings out the best in both horse and owner.

Participants are asked to come prepared with the following: lunge line, lunge whip, dressage whip or crop, D-ring or full-cheek snaffle bit (rather than loose-ring), full tack, protective boots if you use them, surcingle and driving reins if you would like to long-line, and your own riding helmet and gloves.  Please mark your equipment in such a way you can distinguish it from others.
