I have been to several clinics and she was the best for me and my horse. I love that she rides each horse and is very good on horsemanship. I would love to go back.

I went a couple years ago and really enjoyed it. Spent long hours in the saddle and I really appreciated her riding each and every horse. I took a green horse that had never been to town and she had plenty of patience with her stupid antics.

I appreciate that she rides every single horse herself and really gives you one-on-one time. I also like that she talks a lot about horsemanship. And I picked up some good things at her clinic.
But.... I do not know if I would go back to another one. She's really big into "lifting" with the rein. During drills, she would tell you WHEN to do things (when to lift, move your arm, release, etc) However, I never had an understanding of WHY she would tell me to do certain cues (aka, what is my horse doing) and when I asked her, she snapped at me. No, I'm not a softie but I need to understand why you are telling me to do something, so when I walk out of here, I'll be able to understand and do it on my own. Which I didn't really get. So that really rubbed me the wrong way.
If you have the chance to go to your first one, I would go. You can always learn something.
