Longlining Clinics with Liza Bourdon

Longlining improves balance, rhythm, and strength. It is a beneficial tool used by top trainers including, Joe Forest of Horton’s Farm in Grantham, New Hampshire and Robert Mendoza, Grand Prix trainer and rider based out of Bannockburn Farm in Patricksburg, Indiana. 
Participants will learn longlining with a horse familiar with the method. Liza will also help orient a horse new to the longlining process and once the horse is comfortable, Liza will then work with the client & their horse together. These clinics are held once or twice a year. Liza also teaches private Longlining and riding lessons at If Only Farm. Contact Liza Bourdon
