Understanding your gaited horse
Liz Graves

For the first time in Europe! Elizabeth Graves will travel to our continent for the first time to conduct 2 clinics.

Description clinic:
Next to the general increase of knowledge for the different gaits, much attention will be place to the individual horse and rider combination. Step by step you will learn about the genetic gaitpotential of your horse and which changes you can make to improve or change the gaits of your horse. Topics to be discussed: 

• Bio-mechanics;
• Gait continuun;
• Saddle fitting;

• Bitted and bitless headgear choices;

• Horse psychology;

• Seat & posture.

Liz will also focus on lateral exercises to teach working from back to front of the horse instead of front to back through seat and legs, explaining what straightness is and how to feel it and get it for success in gait development and all advanced exercises. Liz also addresses equine psychology. Everything Liz Graves teaches is based on respect and humane treatment.

Clinician:
The American Liz is certainly not unknown among gaited horse lovers. She has written many articles for The Gaited Horse magazine, Western Horseman en many gaited websites. The last few years several dvd's and video's were produced on which Liz shares her knowledge about gaited horses with the viewer.

Since 1990 she conducted over 200 clinics and judged about 100 horseshows as IPWH and RMHA judge. Liz is an expert in opening doors for horse-rider combination and her speciality are gaited horses!

We are proud that Liz will give a 2 days clinic on our location Pleasure Gaits. This is your opportunity to join with your gaited horse (breed an/or registy not important) and be guided by Liz, receiving trainingadvice to continue schooling your horse and yourself.
