We’re thrilled to host a Gaited Horse Clinic with the renowned clinician Liz Graves, designed to provide individual attention and support to each participant. With the goal of keeping the clinic small and focused, we’re limiting it to just 6 to 9 participants, ensuring everyone gets the personal guidance they need.
The clinic will be held at Outback Ranch in Houston, MN, a beautiful location that offers the perfect setting for both learning and relaxation. Outback Ranch features a spacious outdoor arena for our clinic sessions, along with miles of scenic trails to enjoy in the evening. The facility also offers electric camping, cabin rentals, stalls, and pastures, making it a convenient and comfortable option for both you and your horse.
Liz Graves brings decades of experience working with all gaited breeds, and her approach is focused on understanding each horse’s unique needs and abilities. Whether your horse is struggling to stay in gait or you're looking to refine your skills, Liz’s unparalleled knowledge will provide invaluable insights and practical techniques to enhance your horse’s gait, overall performance, and connection with you.
We can’t wait to welcome you to this special clinic and help you and your horse achieve your best!
