**π Grateful for a Weekend of Learning & Connection π**
I had the absolute pleasure of teaching a recent clinic at **April Henderson's ** in Myrtle Beach, where we focused on **Compassionate Dressage** β blending kindness, understanding, and skill to support both horses and humans in their journey together.
A special thank you to **April** for her warm hospitality and unwavering dedication to her horses. Your commitment to deepening your understanding and refining your skills is truly inspiring, and it was an honor to be part of that.
I was also so grateful to connect with **John Lahut**, a sweet and gracious trainer whose openness and thoughtful approach were wonderful to witness. John's desire to expand his knowledge and explore compassionate methods speaks volumes about his care for the horses in his life.
Seeing passionate equestrians like April and John investing in their growth, embracing new ideas, and putting their horsesβ well-being first fills my heart with hope for the equestrian world.
If you're interested in hosting a clinic focused on **Compassionate Dressage**, **Positive Reinforcement**, or **Building Stronger Partnerships with Your Horse**, Iβd love to connect! These clinics are designed to meet you and your horse where you are β and help you move forward with confidence, clarity, and compassion.
π Feel free to reach out if you'd like to bring this experience to your barn or community!
With gratitude,
