Learn to Fall Clinic – Here’s How the Day Flows!

Our 9:00 AM session kicks off with a strong foundation and builds confidence step by step.

🕘 First Session: 9:00 AM – 12:30 PM
• We begin with a discussion about falling — why it happens and what we’re trying to accomplish
• Learn and practice proper rolling technique
• Move onto the practice horse
• Around 10:30 AM (group dependent), we transition to real horses
• We finish the morning session strong on real horses 💪🐎

🍴 Lunch Break: 12:30 – 1:00 PM

🕐 Second Session: 1:00 – 4:30 PM
Same structured progression — confidence, technique, and real-horse application.

This clinic is all about building safe, confident riders who know how to protect themselves and recover calmly.
