Our Guest Clinicians

 

*Paul Dietz: A humble horseman and not "just another" horseman/clnician. Paul's knowledge of horses is exceptional and he is gifted with communication and teaching skills reaching far beyond the average and into the handful of "top professional"horsemen today.   He has figured out what he does best and is doing it: teaching people on a very personal level about the incredible journey that can lead to a oneness between horse and rider; developing an effortless, soft connection, the thoughts of the horse and rider becoming one and ultimately leading to directing the horses feet. Paul is in touch with the interal, invisible intent a true horseman must have which initiates the connection between horse and human before any external moves are evident. Paul will join us again offering his Foundations & Horsemanship Clinics in June & October during our 2012 Riding Season.
