Clinic with Kenneth Vansweevelt

Learn about Kenneth Vansweevelt’s approach to the Art of Academic Riding in two exciting back to back clinics Easter weekend. The first clinic is March 30/31 and the 2nd clinic is Apr 1/2.

Kenneth Vansweevelt of Belgium will bring his passion for improving the well being of horses through developing their bodies and minds.

Kenneth will show you a world hidden to you before by discovering a new awareness with horses. His goal is not to prepare horses for competition but to carefully develop their self awareness, muscles, balance and strength over time through systematic exercises. Kenneth says to “Be soft, ask friendly and feel deeply” to connect with your horse and inspire them to give their best.

He focuses on isolating and moving different parts of the horse to achieve connection through the spine and move the whole horse fluidly using subtle cues.

Coffee, tea and snacks are provided. You must provide your own lunch.

It’s $400 for horse/rider combos/clinic or $700 for both clinics.  You will have three private 30 minute lessons over the 2 days and have one group lesson which is more of a supervised practice and opportunity for Kenneth to see if you understood your lessons. He will give feedback or guidance if necessary. It’s $45/day or $70/clinic for spectators. Clinic starts at 9 am both days and there is space for 6 riders. If you put horse in one clinic you can audit the other clinic at no extra charge.
