A “New” Kind of Clinic

Offering a limited number of riders the opportunity to train with both Jim Graham and Erin Rush in their highly successful “Team Teaching” Clinic at Hart Equestrian Center!

What is “Team Teaching”?

Erin and Jim will start each session with Erin on the horse, while Jim will explain what he is looking for using this amazing " visual aid". What a great way to learn the difference between when the horse is "on the aids" vs. “on the bit”, “compressed” vs. “collected” and so on. We'll explain as you "see" our words and actions gradually make a major impact on your horse. You'll then mount up mount your horse when Jim and Erin feel it's the optimum time for you to take charge! Remember, this rare training opportunity is to teach you while Erin Rush is literally on your horse!

Lessons will be in dressage, show jumping, and cross country. All levels offered including green horses and riders.

Schedules can be tailored to individual’s needs and may comprise of 2 or 3 days.

Reserve your spot now! Please reach out to Jim Graham or Erin Rush directly for additional information.
