Clinic format - what to expectClinics are held in our indoor school. The atmosphere is very open and friendly and questions are encouraged. Each day consists of a maximum of 12 individual lessons of 45 minutes duration. At the end of each lesson there is a 5 minute period allocated for questions from the rider or spectators. On any given day Craig works with a wide variety of participants, from complete beginners to advanced horses and riders. There is a ten minute break for tea/coffee each morning and afternoon and a one hour break for lunch. Hot lunches are available to order in advance at £5 per head, enabling everyone to sit together around the table and continue the conversations. Craig's UK clinic schedule 2010

Also available for purchase on DVD, the lecture is divided into two parts. Firstly, Craig explains the development of riding and teaching methods - from Xenophon, through the Renaissance, the critical period of the French Revolution, right up to the modern day. From this background, he then discusses why it is that many people's modern day experience of riding is so frustrating and outlines the methods he uses during the clinics to unravel the mysteries and make it possible for virtually anyone to learn to ride to an extremely high level on any sound horse. Please note that attendance at the theory lecture is compulsory for all new students (both riders and spectators) as part of your first clinic. After that, attendance is purely optional, but most students keep coming back again and again - perhaps the best testimony to the wealth of valuable information it contains. FeesRiding places on the clinics can be booked at £200. This includes two individual lessons (typically on separate days), tea or coffee and biscuits at break times and entry to the theory lecture on the evening preceeding the first day of the clinic. Riders are also entitled to spectate during all other lessons over the course of the clinic. The fee is reduced to £180 provided payment is received in full at least 1 month prior to the start of the clinic. Places are filled on a first come-first served basis and multi-place bookings are accepted. Please note that clinics do tend to sell out in advance so please call or email now to secure your place. Spectators/auditors are also most welcome. The fees for spectating are £25 for one day, £45 for two, £65 for three or £85 for four days. This also includes tea or coffee and biscuits at break times plus entry to the theory lecture.
