How was your weekend?
💦🌈🐴 We had so much fun - from noodle gates and maypoles to water crossings, Kath Evans’ desensitisation clinic focused on building better partnerships from the ground up and translating into the saddle. Working through new experiences together, horses gained confidence while riders learned how to create greater connection and trust. A wonderful clinic, thank you Kath 💙🐎
