 The
Very Best Start You Can Offer Your Horse!
This unique venue is being offered for the
first time by popular request. Each year the Charles Wilhelm
Training Center receives literally hundreds of inquiries from people
all over the country asking how they should start their horse the
right way. These are horse owners that really want to do it
themselves, or at least be highly involved in the process, but
simply do not have the education and background to feel comfortable
and safe doing the training work on their own.
This exciting clinic is designed specifically for those people who
want to fully immerse themselves in a highly intensive workshop
targeted strictly for starting a horse under saddle.
Workshop Schedule
Monday through Friday 9 AM - 5 PM
Over the course of the five days, Charles will work with the
participants and their horses to cover all the following topics and
exercises in great depth....
-
Safety for both horse and owner
-
How to make any horse a calm, relaxed and
willing student
-
Round pen reasoning: teaching respect and
directional control through inside and outside turns
-
The
go-forward cue
-
Ground manners: lunging, line work, leading and
tying
-
Sacking out
-
Handling the feet and legs
-
Introduction to the saddle and bridle
-
Your horse’s first, second, and third ride
-
Directional control, backing up and moving the

Preparation for clippers, shots, vet and

-
Building the right lifetime relationship with
your horse
-
Solving common problems: cinchy, cold-backed,

-
Creating a long-term, safe working environment

There will be plenty of
opportunities to work with hands-on with your horse, and there will always
be additional CW Training staff available to ensure you get help
quickly if needed. This clinic will fill and we suggest those
interested reserve a spot promptly. Please review our
reservations
& cancellation policy.
CLINIC LOCATION: The
Charles Wilhelm training center is a 60-acre ranch, known for its
picturesque setting as well as its friendliness and hospitality. The
center has 40 stalls; a 100' x 250' covered arena; two outdoor
arenas; two round pens; large outdoor turnouts; several outdoor
paddocks, and a guest lodge which can accommodate up to 10.
MEALS
Meals are not included, but there are numerous cafes and restaurants
in the immediate area. A map and list of suggested places to eat
will be provided. At the lodge, shared kitchen
facilities are available. You are welcome to bring supplies and make
your own meals.
HANDLER REQUIREMENTS:
All levels of handlers can benefit from this instructional program.
HORSES AND TACK:
Horses age two and up that have not been started for riding (or have
only been lightly started) are welcome. The intended
discipline for the horse does not matter. Any saddle type is
acceptable. We will be using rope halters, dressage and lunge
whips, and twelve foot lead lines in addition to your riding own
tack. These may be purchased at the ranch if you do not bring
your own. Fees include stabling and feed for your horse for the duration of
the event. Helmets are required for riding exercises.
