GUEST CLINICIANS AT WILDSONG RANCH
PAST CLINICS
We are super passionate about continued learning for ourselves and our clients. Sometimes the best way to keep learning fresh is by getting the insights and perspectives of other incredible trainers who we admire, and are inspired by! We have the honor of welcome several of our favorite clinician friends, from all over the world, to our home at Wildsong Ranch! We hope you can join us at any or all of these events.
Lockie PhilLips
April 25th-28th 2024
Lockie Phillips is an Australian Horseman living in Spain and retired professional dancer. An International Clinician, horse trainer, riding instructor and hoof care provider, Lockie is the creator of Emotional Horsemanship.
Emotional Horsemanship helps deeply caring equestrians create emotionally balanced horses using science, empathy and feel. Any equestrian is welcome to try it if they care very deeply about their horse.
You can expect a slow clinic. No dust flying, no ropes twirling. You are welcome to use food rewards in this clinic at specific times. The point of these clinics is to slow down, peel back the layers and to ask the horse and yourself “How does this feel?”
You can expect to be challenged in the clinic, but to have a lot of fun too. The auditors are nothing to fear, the auditors always become your biggest fans and cheerleaders, we promise.
Lockie is delighted to be returning to Colorado for the second time and hopes to see you all again soon.
TESTIMONIALS
"Before Hatha Equus, I felt anxious most of the time, lacked self-confidence and was constantly afraid I’d break an unknown barn rule. I questioned everything I was doing with and for my OTTB Em and felt stressed by the environment.
As I moved Em to Wildsong Ranch, for Hatha Equus' Training Track Program, I immediately felt an amazing aura of peace and calm, which allowed me to breathe, relax and enjoy my journey with Em. The community is so supportive and kind I always feel a sense of joy and comfort"
Jenny Bailey
Horse Owner
“Many times I’ve been in the land of uncertainty, overwhelm, discouragement and frustration in my abilities. Showing up for classes, asking questions and having Elizabeth and Giorgia demonstrate with my horse (or other horses) has been key in me being able to practice while they observe, then giving their feedback has been monumental. By laying a foundation, I feel much more comfortable, trust in the process, confident and content. Not only in myself, but I feel and see it in my horse! She’s growing in being at ease in her body, exploring novel movements, solving new things, self-assured, calmer and curious.”
Mario Di Dio
VP of Engineering, Nova Labs
“My daughter has been attending beginner horsemanship classes at Hatha Equus for the past three months. As soon as she finishes a class, she starts counting down until the next one. Learning how to care for the horses in addition to learning how to ride makes her feel empowered. I love that the instructors are patient and kind and have a strong focus on safety. We highly recommend the classes at Hatha Equus for building a strong foundation in horsemanship. We feel so lucky to have discovered this gem!”
