Robin Waugman Clinic 2
Robin Waugman will be in Homer for 10 days doing a variety of clinics, lessons and a mid- week three day retreat.
She continues to refine her art of working with horses in the rehabilitation and development of performance horses. She had made it her goal to integrate the best of these ideas into a method of training that is based in relational and neuro-scientific understanding of how the horse learns with a French classical dressage based training, as well as jumping gymnastic exercises, and work on different terrains and surfaces to develop the horses muscular skeletal strength and self carriage.
Her goal is to help riders develop empathy, confidence, and self-sufficiency for themselves and their horses and to treasure the incredible gift of a deeper relationship with a healthy well balanced equine partner.
