3-Day Bond Building Clinic at Grace Ranch

THREE DAYS TO BUILD AN UNBREAKABLE BOND

Three days to transform your connection with your horse and build an unbreakable bond. This immersive clinic gives you the time and depth to truly learn the Five Ways to Bond with Your Horse — a framework that can help you work through any challenge, whether your horse bucks, rears, pulls away, is hard to catch, or difficult to trailer.

Building a bond is about establishing connection over control. A horse that’s connected with you is more likely to keep you safe, trust you, and take care of you when it counts. The 3-Day Bond Building Clinic covers:

  • Standard groundwork
  • Desensitizing
  • Sending exercises
  • Teaching softness
  • Mounted and riding exercises

All focused on safety and connection. Every horse and rider receives a detailed assessment at the end, along with homework to continue building the bond at home.

  • Learn the Five Ways to Bond with Your Horse
  • Hands-on groundwork, desensitizing & sending exercises
  • Mounted and riding exercises focused on connection
  • Detailed assessment & take-home homework
  • Real-time feedback from Steady Horse clinicians
  • Auditor spots available — watch and learn

FROM THE COMMUNITY

I drove down from Nebraska with my horse for a Steady Horse clinic, and it did not disappoint! The clinicians are real, genuine, and knowledgeable. I left with a completely different understanding of how to work with my horse.

Google Review

The Steady Horse approach completely changed the way I work with my horses. You and your horse learn together, and it’s a method that actually makes sense. The in-person experience at Grace Ranch was worth every mile.
