Past Clinics
Classical Stock Seat School of Arizona – Clinic with Ron McLoughlin
March 28 – 30, 2025
Ron’s clinics are two to three days of very intense multi-subject concept instruction. At some facilities, our sponsors have horses that can be leased for the clinic, but normally students are on their own horses, with generally 15 to 30 riders in attendance.
Clinics are capable of handling all levels of riders at the same time, and one of the easiest ways to get quality time for a reasonable price. Clinics are meant to be a shot in the arm for your riding program, for the purpose of improving your riding skills and increasing your knowledge.
The atmosphere of the clinic is conducive for learning and reinforces the educational process the weekend, by setting and reaching reasonable objectives for each rider, as an individual. The principles we use of suppleness and obedience are safe, humane, and enjoyable for horse and rider.
The basic format of our three day riding clinic is as follows:
Daily format: 9:00-11:30am Riding session
12:30-1:30pm video/lecture sessions
2:00-4:00pm Riding session
Please contact Nathan or Stephanie for more details and clinic registration: Nathan.Stephany2020@yahoo.com
The Horsemanship Clinics are progressive. The knowledge and skills learned will build each day and the techniques and methods taught are fundamentals of Chris Cox’s program. These are practical and effective techniques that you can use every day to communicate with your horse.
Come prepared and ready to learn with an open mind. Please inform us of any physical problems or disabilities that will hinder you and your horses’ ability, prior to attending the clinic.
