A STEADY HORSE CLINIC
DESENSITIZING
CLINIC
About This Clinic
BUILD THE KIND OF CONNECTION THAT KEEPS YOU SAFE
Horses spooking, overreacting, and taking off is one of the leading causes of riding accidents. In this full-day clinic, you’ll work directly with Steady Horse certified clinicians to build the kind of connection that helps your horse choose you — even when their instincts tell them to run.
Learn how to meet your horse where they are, build their trust gradually, and develop a horse who is slower to react and quicker to take their lead from you. The clinic covers desensitizing to flags, bags, tarps, and stationary obstacles. Every horse receives an individual assessment, and you’ll leave with tools and exercises to continue building confidence at home.
Important: This is a hands-on clinic — participants must bring their own horse or rent one ($100). A current Coggins test is required for every horse entering Grace Ranch. No exceptions, no refunds.
- Hands-on desensitizing with flags, tarps, bags & obstacles
- Individual horse & rider assessment
- Take-home exercises to continue the progress
- Full day of guided work (9 AM – 4 PM)
- Horse rental available if you don’t have your own
Registrants get access to a free 30-day Steady Horse Club trial
The Experience
WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE
Trust-Based Desensitizing
Work hands-on with your horse through common triggers — flags, tarps, bags, and obstacles — guided by expert clinicians who meet your horse exactly where they are.
Building Confidence
Learn the step-by-step approach to introducing new and scary things in a way that builds genuine confidence, not just tolerance. A connected horse is a safer horse.
Personal Assessment
Each horse and rider receives an individual assessment at the end of the clinic, along with homework and exercises so the learning doesn’t stop at the arena gate.

What People Are Saying
FROM THE COMMUNITY
After the desensitizing clinic, my mare who used to spook at everything is a completely different horse. The clinicians took the time to explain the ‘why’ behind each technique, and it just clicked.
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.
