Clinics and Seminars: the best way to get your whole barn to StressLess!

Andrea can provide short seminars, one-day or multi-day workshops, and clinics with a mounted component, all tailored to the needs of your particular group.  The most popular option is a 3-hour seminar covering the essentials of StressLess Riding, followed by riding sessions where we apply StressLess tools and strategies to specific riding situations.  Contact Andrea to set up a clinic at your location and check the current events page for upcoming clinics and workshops.
