The clinic will be held over 3 days with a mixture of teaching methods used:

  • How to teach a horse to circle with cognitive use of their limbs and anatomy.

  • How to teach a horse to make straight lines in Alignment.

If your horse struggles to perform, AlignmentHORSE will help you both to advance. It’s time to break free of age-old equestrian dogma that’s keeping you from success. Join us at Liz VanRoss’s ground-breaking Clinic to discover and develop your understanding of the new Era of Equitation … riding based on 21st Century science. Free yourself and your horse from the shackles of tradition.
