Going to a Clinic? Set Up for Success

breaks down what to consider, and what to expect, in the latest episode of Ride on with Julie Goodnight. (JulieGoodnight.com/Podcast)

“After several decades of teaching horsemanship clinics, as well as participating in many clinics myself as a rider, I have a good perspective on how clinics work, from both sides,” says Goodnight. “I’ve put together some tips to help riders get the most out of the experience and to help them prepare for the big day.”

Goodnight answers several common questions:

  • What types of clinics are there?
  • Are you ready to attend a clinic?
  • Should you ride or audit?
  • How do you figure out the right clinic or clinician for you and your horse?
  • What do you need to do to get ready?

After the decisions, plans and preparation are finished, Goodnight offers advice about what to expect (from the clinic, your horse and yourself), and how to keep a positive mindset throughout the clinic.

“You and your horse gain invaluable experience just from hauling to the clinic, riding in unfamiliar circumstances and having to focus in a distracting environment,” says Goodnight. “This alone can advance your confidence as a team, building a stronger bond between you and your horse.”
