Qi-Questrian: The Energy of Horsemanship

Inspired by internal martial arts practices, the primary focus of Qi-Questrian is to bring softeness, awareness and body control to riders both on and off the horse. It also sheds light onto a way of force-free riding that aims to improve the mental and physical state of the horse as well as the rider. We delve into the science and spirit of the energetic bonds between horse and rider, and practice skills to improve confidence and trust. 

1. Basics of Qi - What is it, How does it work, How do we use it for riding?

2. Relaxing and Balancing with the Horse

3. Grounding and Centering

4. The Forward Horse - staying out of our horse's way

This clinic will begin at 10:30AM with an open training session. Madison will work with a horse to demonstrate the foundation of Qi-Questrian. Participants will then learn and practice with horses from the ground, then while riding. Madison has a limited supply of horses available to borrow at a first come, first serve basis.

Spaces are limited. Early bird pricing ends Nov. 1st.

Auditing welcome.
