Want
to be the envy of everyone on the trail?
Come
to a Hooper Crossing Clinic and get on the road
to creating the ultimate partnership with your
horse.
Our
clinics range from basic safety and horsemanship
to advanced techniques and maneuvers. All are
designed to get a soft responsive feel from
your horse and make the most of your riding
experience.
 People
often say they are intimidated at the thought
of riding with others . . . but are surprised
by how comfortable they feel in a very short
time
We
are in the process of building an obstacle course
at the ranch that includes bridges, poles, barrels,
boxes, cowboy curtain, water obstacle, and much
more.
We
offer afternoon clinics, one and two day clinics
for adults, and special 3 hour clinics for youth.
There
is ample space for your group to bring campers
and trailers to settle in for a two day clinic
that includes a Saturday night BBQ and lots
of horse talk
We
would be happy to customize a clinic for a group
of 5 to 8 riders, or you can schedule private
instruction with Keith. Call anytime: 509-549-3796
