Saturday & Sunday, February 2-3, 2008 RUBY KENNEDY CLINIC at Highview Stables in LeSueur, Minnesota. CLICK HERE for flyer.
Ruby Kennedy’s training program is based on a solid foundation of communication. Respect from our animals as well as respect towards them encourages the animals to exhibit personality traits that are often times discouraged in an attempt to rush an animal through the training process. This respect also fosters a relationship of trust, which in turn creates basic manners and softness that are imperative.
Ruby Kennedy, has shown locally, regionally and nationally under many disciplines with many different breeds. She has trained numerous world champions and reserve champions in PtHA, AMHR, ApHC, POAC, ASPC, APHA and AQHA. She holds 6 judging cards and with that experience it has taught her exactly what is needed to bring home the gold!
Agenda
Training and instruction for beginners and advanced in Western Pleasure & English Pleasure.
Clinic Format
Riders/Horses will be split into two groups (beginners and advanced). The clinic will be customized to the participants, and Ruby is eager to help each person with specific things. Sessions may be combined or altered to fit the individual interests and needs.
$150 per Rider for Two Days.
Limited to the first 20 paid registrations
Stalls available at $15 per day
