Is showing something that you really would like to get into? Or maybe you do not want to show but you want to work towards having the control and finesse that a show horse has? Need to improve those Ranch Riding scores in the pen? Ever introduced your horse to the flag? It is a great way to get them locked onto something and put your skills to the test on the mechanical cow (flag)
If these all sound like something you would like to do, then this clinic is for you!
We will work on transitions, body control, how to handles emotions in the pen, softness of the face, spins, stopping, creating the perfect walk, and more! We will break down each thing that creates a great Ranch Horse and help you and your horse achieve it!
New to the sport, that is okay. Michael tailors each of his clinics to their riders and modifies as needed.
This clinic is $750 for the 3 Days. A $200 deposit is required to hold your spot. All deposits are NON REFUNDABLE. But can be transferred to another clinic within a calendar year of the original date.
Creating Better Performance through Education &
Merging the Gap Between Horsemanship and the Show Horse
"I probably learned more about training my horse at the clinic I attended than in my many years riding horses. Michael and Julia are gifted in their ability to communicate the philosophy and techniques of true horsemanship." - 2023 Clinic participant
"I've had the privilege of Michael's instruction twice. Once in a clinic and once in a private lesson on my reining horse. I have participated in several clinics and follow a number of natural horsemanship trainers for tips and insight. None of them come close to the insight and knowledge I received from Michael during my two lessons with him. What I appreciate most about Michael is that he takes the time to get to know you and your horse before he ever begins to give suggestions or instruction. No "one size fits all" for this guy! - Rhonda Van Huss
"Learned so much at my four day Michael Lyons horsemanship clinic. My Endurance mare Maggie was having trouble with her ‘power steering’. We worked hard through all of the exercises Michael gave us, especially the dreaded ‘shoulder’ exercises! I don’t even work that hard on a 50 miler I’m happy to report that all the sweat was so worth it, Maggie now has acquired Power Steering. We’re ready to hit the trail with confidence. Thanks again Michael"

Important Clinic Information for Registrants
Things to keep in mind when signing up for the Clinic
Signing Up- When you sign up for the clinic, you are required to pay a $200 deposit to save your spot. The remaining balance of this clinic is not due until 2 weeks prior to the clinic. Your deposit does hold your spot for the clinic, and therefore is non-refundable. We do allow folks to transfer their deposit to any other clinic within a calendar of the initial clinic signed up for as long as you have.
Every clinic/ retreat is unique to the participants in the event. We want to do our best to help you with your horsemanship goals. However, there are some things that you need to do prior to the clinic. Make sure your horse is physically fit to ride in an all day clinic. It is best suited for you and your animal to be working and building some sort of fitness and endurance level prior to attending.
It is important that you are able to ride/work in a group of people. This does not mean that you need to be perfect, as we understand that you probably signed up for this clinic because you are in need of help, but make sure you are are comfortable riding or doing ground work with your horse in a group of 8-12 people.
