Linda Zang Clinic

May 1 - 4th, 2024

THANK YOU to our hosts:

Asolare Farm, Greenfield Center, NY 

Viridian Farm, Fort Edward, NY

Linda stressed rider position and alignment, guiding participants to refine posture for balance in the saddle. She then focused on clear communication between rider and horse, refining aids for subtle yet decisive cues. Through exercises emphasizing responsiveness and throughness, Linda deepened the rider-horse connection.

Linda also highlighted suppleness and elasticity, encouraging horses to soften and yield to aids for improved focus and effectiveness.  Her invaluable insights and practical tools for achieving better self-carriage and throughness empowered riders to unlock new levels of harmony, balance, and connection with their horses.

Thank you Linda - we look forward to your next visit with us!!

The day with Jessica was a transformative experience for riders of all levels. Jessica's approach was grounded in traditional concepts, yet she had a remarkable talent for simplifying complex ideas.  She began by breaking down the fundamentals, focusing on the rider's connection with their horse. Through simple yet effective exercises, she emphasized the importance of a balanced seat and clear communication through the aids.  One of Jessica's key strengths was her ability to tailor her guidance to each rider's needs. Whether it was refining a half-halt, perfecting transitions, or improving collection, she offered personalized insights that resonated with everyone.

Thank you Jessica - we look forward to having you again!!
