About Us
Equestrian Clinics is about…Membership
Equestrian Clinics is an educational website that provides members with a front row seat to clinics with equestrian’s top trainers.
Our goal is to bring the equestrian community together with a continuing education program of demonstrations, exercises and life experiences. Books and magazines are a great resource for riders of all levels. But at Equestrian Clinics, we believe that since humans are visual creatures, we learn more from demonstrations. Watching other riders make mistakes that we can relate to and then watching the correction is a powerful learning tool. Having the visual imprint of correct riding is a tremendous benefit in advancing your skill as a rider.
We are approaching trainers all over the world to allow us to “take a peek” at their lessons and clinics. In a perfect world with money and time limitless, many of us would travel to these fantastic clinics and watch in person. Since that is not always possible, Equestrian Clinics brings the clinics to you. We also encourage riders to participate in clinics personally and watching these wonderful trainers will prepare you for your clinic.
As a member, you have access to these videos at the comfort of your computer. You can watch them in your free time as many times as you please. You have the added benefit of rewinding and watching the teaching points again. We feature new clinics each month and announce these clinics by our email Newsletter.
An added benefit for members is participation in the Video Jumping Clinic. Top trainers and judges will give you individual feedback and tips on your riding. Just submit a clip of you and your horse over fences, and they will critique your ride and give you tips on how to improve. Each month, we will choose from the members’ submissions and will give a brief lesson to one lucky winner.
Equestrian Clinics is about…Training
Equestrian Clinics invites trainers all over the world to share their training tips with our members. With everything from how to conquer horse show nerves to gymnastics for jumpers, our Trainers’ Tips section creates a sharing of information that brings the worldwide equestrian community together.
- DVDs are available for purchase in our Store.
Equestrian Clinics is about…Horsemanship
Equestrian Clinics provides an outlet for articles on equine health and horsemanship to better understand and look after our equine friends. The American Association of Equine Practitioners, a non-profit organization of veterinarians dedicated to equine health, has provided many articles. We encourage other experts, vets and trainers to share their articles with our members.
Equestrian Clinics is about…Fitness
Equestrian Clinics stresses the importance of riders’ fitness by providing a different exercise tailored to the equestrian each month. We are also a distributor for the Rider’s Fitness Program, an excellent publication that gives riders 74 different exercises to build their strength and stamina. You can purchase the Rider’s Fitness Program in our Store.
Equestrian Clinics is about…Community
Equestrian Clinics aspires to bring the equestrian community together with our Forum. We encourage people to post questions, share their opinions, and tell us some of their favorite equine experiences. After all, horses are the common bond that bring us all together.
