Youth Clinics
Our Youth Clinics are designed to build capable, confident young riders in a fun, supportive environment. These days focus on developing strong foundations on their horses while enjoying time in the saddle, learning new skills and having plenty of laughs along the way.
Alongside the riding, we include simple, age-appropriate conversations around mindset, managing emotions and building confidence. Riding can bring up nerves, frustration and excitement and learning how to recognise and manage those feelings is an important part of becoming a well-rounded rider.
We also place a strong emphasis on building a positive relationship with the horse. Kids learn about communication, consistency and care and begin to understand the connection between the effort they put in and the results they see, both in their riding and in their horse’s responses.
Sessions are structured but relaxed, allowing riders to progress at their own pace while being supported and appropriately challenged. Activities are tailored to suit the age and ability of the group, with safety, encouragement and enjoyment always front of mind. Basic horsemanship skills and fundamental dry work, followed by some activities around speed and controlling your horse into a safe and effective position, plus some time ont eh mechanical flag will fill our day in!
Suitable for a range of ages and disciplines. Numbers are limited to ensure quality coaching and individual attention. We ask that a primary caregiver remain on site for the duration of the clinic.
Cost is $200 per person incl GST. Price includes catering for participant PLUS one primary caregiver.

“Both of our boys have done a youth clinic with Heidi and I would drive twice the distance to get them to another one. Not only does she know what she is talking about, she breaks it down in a way they can understand and communicates it so well. To top it off, SHE MAKES IT FUN!!! Could not recommend highly enough!”

"I can honestly say Heidi's clinic is the best one I’ve ever done- and I’ve been going to clinics for over 20 years! I encourage all my gal pals to jump in and invest your time into the program Heidi runs over her horses, life and goals - you’ll come away with a fresh perspective on many parts of your deal I promise!"

Want the key and tools to give you the ability and opportunity to unlock your best self? Heidi Smith oozes passion for life, is fun, energetic and driven. The way she teaches and shares her knowledge at her 2 day horsemanship clinic is absolutely unreal.
She sets you up on a path of bricks to get the best out of your horses, business and every day life if you choose. Money and time so well spent. We will be back Heidi Smith!"
