Location: Decatur, Texas | I've been to several Kristin Weaver-Brown clinics and learned something new each time. She is a very positive teacher and really breaks things down into easy to understand concepts. I'd highly recommend one of hers! |

| Both are friends of mine. Vickie and Danny used to work at Josey's so really teach that style. They are very motivational. Kristin used to ride reining horses and has a slightly different style. She is VERY successful with futurity horses. I have not attended either clinic but whichever one you pick, I am sure will be wonderful. |

| I agree! You probably can't go wrong with either one! Both will be enjoyable! |

Location: NC | I don't know anything about a Reinhardt clinic but I got to audit a KWB one this fall and loved it. I feel like she focuses on horsemanship and really helps the horse and rider. She rides each person's horse which I think 1) makes it easier to teach since she can see what you are working with and 2) can show the rider that their horse can do it, its just rider error. She is SUPER nice too!!! |

| I went to a KWB clinic this past fall, and I thought it was excellent.
She does all the instructing, the only helpers are to take notes for you so you can concentrate on what she is saying. She rides every horse, and she is a hand.
She does have a different riding style. Her hands are more up and forward than I am used to, and she rides with more contact. She explains everything really well, and focuses on horsemanship & knowing where your horses feet are.
I'll probably go again to the one this year.
I've heard good things about Reinhardts too, just never been. |

Location: North Dakota | Never been to a Reinhardt clinic so I can't speak for that.
I went to a KWB clinic last year and it was great. She had a big emphasis on horsemanship, which was really nice. The second day kinda dragged a little bit BUT that was because she spent time riding each and every horse in the clinic, so she could give you an individualized plan with your horse. So of course, there was a lot of time waiting for your turn! But you could still learn something from watching her ride the other horses and giving the rider a critique.
She also had a lot of emphasis and making sure the horse's body was in correct position, which was part of the horsemanship.
Very good clinic. She is doing an advanced clinic in our area this spring, and I am sad that I can't go because I will be WAY too pregnant to ride! LOL. Hoping she does another one in the future.

Location: North Dakota | I've not been to a Reinhardt, but I have been to KWB and she is fantastic. She will show you drills to sharpen your horse and each drill builds off the last. Each drill will help you on the pattern. I love that she gets on and rides each horse and gives you specific instruction on how to work your horse. She has a positive attitude and is not afraid to spend some extra time with the kids/adults that may be struggling with their horsemanship or their horse. This impresses me because you would not believe the number of well known clinicians that will just pass you over because your having an issue; its happened to me numerous times. Will definately be going to her advanced clinic this summer when she is up. |

Location: Red Raiderland | Can't say anything about the Reinhardts but I went to a Charmayne clinic about ten years ago and Kristin was her assistant and she was AWESOME! I also took a lesson from her later on that year and just think so highly of her. I love her horsemanship abilities and I so wish she still lived here in Texas or at least put on some clinics here.  |
