In this spring clinic hosted by Santa Cruz County Horseman’s Association, we will cover both groundwork and ridden exercise routines geared towards helping horses prepare for the busy riding season ahead. All levels are welcome as Jec will offer modifications for senior horses or those with movement restrictions. To reserve your spot, email Jec directly at jec@jecballou.com. Fee is $150 for the clinic; you can choose how much—or little— of the full schedule you wish to partake in.

10am: Groundwork routines to improve postural habits and ease of movement

10:45am: Ridden exercises (at walk and trot only) that promote flexibility and good balance for the horse.

12noon: Short break

12:30pm: Gymnastic exercises including ground poles and canter routines

2pm: Wrap up (Jec will save time for short one-on-one sessions here)… OR enjoy the adjoining trails a Henry Cowell State Park!
