Where: Shingles Springs, CA (covered arena)

Who: ReBalance instructor Zsuzsu Illes

Auditors & Riders get exceptional hands-on time with Zsuzsu to learn improved balance in a step-by-step practical approach towards that elusive goal of one-ness with their horse. The multi-day clinic blends on-the-ground and mounted exploration of balance, effective aids, and how to get beyond resistance. Riders and Auditors will practice exercises to improve balance, feel and an understanding of equine biomechanics. Individual Lessons help riders practice, build-on and solidify new skills. Between lessons, participants discuss issues that arise. Maximum 8 riders.

Zsuzsu is a 4th level dressage rider, a trail rider and accomplished riding instructor. Her holistic approach seeks to create balance and communication between horse and rider. Her clear explanations and ability to help the rider create positive changes in their horse provides a supportive atmosphere for progress in both horse and rider.
