About This Clinic

LEARN THE FIVE WAYS TO BOND WITH YOUR HORSE

Bring your horse and spend two full days with Steady Horse lead trainer Noah TY in Buckley, Michigan, hosted by Deanna Sinclair-Parker. You’ll learn the Five Ways to Bond with Your Horse over this immersive 2-day clinic — because a horse that’s bonded with you is a horse that keeps you safer.

Whether your horse bucks, rears, is hard to catch, or difficult to trailer, you’ll learn practical exercises across two days of groundwork and mounted work, and walk away with a personal assessment of where you are and homework to keep building your bond at home.

Important: Hosted by Deanna Sinclair-Parker, registration and payment handled by Steady Horse. Current Coggins test and vaccination records required. Horse rentals are NOT available. No stalls on-site — bring a portable stall if you need overnight containment.

What People Are Saying

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.

“

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 was worth every mile.
