KALI KIGER HORSE CLINICS
"Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of solitaire. It is a grand passion." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Working first from the stand point of the relationship, we will build a toolkit you can use to create clearer communication with your horse, fill your horse’s bucket, and create more fun for both you and your horse. Clinics are customizable and a curriculum will be derived over a set of phone calls with the clinic host. We have never done the same clinic twice.
