"I am glad to have been part and seen a glimpse of the true art of horsemanship."

"I want to thank you for teaching me.

You are a one-of-a-kind instructor, and your passion and commitment to horses and teaching are to me

what the masters of the past were all about.

I am glad to have been part and seen a glimpse of the true art of horsemanship."

Unlock the Power of Intention and Connection with Your Horse

Imagine preparing for your clinic experience with expert guidance before you even arrive.

To help you make the most of this transformative opportunity, your clinic package includes The Soulful Start: Pre-Clinic Coaching Series (two live pre-clinic Zoom calls) alongside the pre-clinic online course and workbook.

These resources ensure you’re fully prepared to dive into this deep immersion experience.

The art of becoming one with your horse can be learned and developed with exercises that build harmony, trust, and willingness.

Whether you’re just starting out with horses or a seasoned veteran, it isn’t easy to understand how to create the partnership you want. Luckily, Lynley has the solution and experience to show you the way.

I finally feel like I can dance with my horse on the ground.

I finally feel like I can dance with my horse on the ground.

In hand work has never really appealed to me but Lynley combines the perfect mix of technical knowledge, feeling and consideration for both the horse and rider.

Her methods are clear, fun and effective giving both myself and my horse many "Aha" moments with a clear path to continue with at home.

I can't wait for Lynley to return so I can continue my journey with her.

Yes, you are most welcome to bring your young horse.

We have a range of exercises that are very beneficial in preparing your young horse for groundwork and advancing Work In-Hand and Ridden work.

My horse and I trail ride on our own and with friends. Will this clinic be valuable to our relationship?

We have a range of exercises that are very beneficial in preparing your young horse for groundwork and advancing Work In-Hand and Ridden work.

Does it matter if I don't ride competitively?

What is the format of the Clinic?

*6:30 pm - the evening before the first working day of the clinic: We settle in with Meet & Greet and "Optimizing Your Clinic" Discussion

*8:00 am - In the Barn Session, then we start the first morning with Work In-Hand/Groundwork; these are Revolving 1:1 lessons

*Approx - 12:30 pm - Lunch Break and Discission - however we may work through lunch, so make sure you have food and drinks on hand.

*Approx - 1:15 pm we have revolving Small Group Sessions

*Very often in the evening there will be a demonstration and Q & A with my own horse.

*Repeated each day - But we get more in depth as the clinic progresses each day.

**But please remember I run the clinic very organically and work with the horses and people that turn up in our space each day**

For over a decade, my passion has been centered around sharing with, and guiding others towards achieving profound connection, oneness and cultivating more enriching relationships with their horses.

This journey goes beyond riding styles and saddle preferences – it's about fostering a deep bond between horse and human.

Embark on a gentle and transformative journey with my Work In-Hand and Vaquero-inspired lessons.

These sessions not only seek to expand your knowledge but also delicately shape and refine your skills. Together, you and your horse will craft a subtle, soft language, both from the ground and the saddle.

Embracing this sense of oneness opens the door to a more profound and fulfilling relationship, something that may have seemed like a distant dream until now.

Join me in discovering the beauty of connection and understanding that goes beyond your tack.

“I believe your journey starts from wherever you are right now.
It doesn’t matter how old your horse is, what discipline you ride, or where you are in your relationship – my programs build on your experience to refine your ability to understand and speak with your horse.”
