Clinics with Mary Kitzmiller

Better Communication. More Confidence. A Better Partnership.

Good horsemanship isn't about following a recipe. It's about learning to read the horse in front of you.

My clinics are designed to help riders understand the why behind what they're doing, recognize what their horse is telling them, and develop better timing, feel, communication, and confidence.

Whether we're working with a young horse, navigating obstacles, building confidence, troubleshooting a problem, or refining more advanced work, my goal is to help you leave with tools you can continue using long after the clinic is over.

What Can We Work On?

Every clinic is a little different, because every group and every horse is different.

Clinic topics can be customized around the needs and interests of the riders and may include:

Building confidence and communication
Groundwork that translates to the saddle
Understanding pressure, release, timing, and feel
Positive reinforcement and reward-based training
Problem solving and working through behavioral challenges
Young horse and colt-starting foundations
Mustang and sensitive horse development
Obstacles and confidence building
Ranch riding and practical horsemanship
Developing softness, responsiveness, and body control
Helping riders better understand how their horse learns

You don't need a perfectly trained horse, and you don't need to be an advanced rider. Bring the horse you're working with and the questions you've got.
