Bob Blackwell or "Old Cowboy" Hosslogic for Gaited Horse Clinics
Primarily problem solving clinics which can include information on bits, some round pen work
and a horse shoeing workshop.  Participants, gaited horse owners and riders, are asked to
answer a questionaire in  advance of the clinic as to what they would like to learn from the
instructor. Then,  as the clinician, I  tailor my lessons to fit the needs and questions of these
participants. These clinics are not the same as the "Hoss Logic" Practical Horsemanship Training
workshops taught to students ofHossLogic.

  • Clinics are structured to your needs. Includes more than just gait keeping,

    • such as trouble shooting and problem solving, shoeing demo, and education
    on bits and tack. Can include history, and conformation.
  • Certificates awarded only after completion of a qualifying clinic and only upon demonstration of completion of assigned activities required for the clinic you attend.
  • Clinic and hosting fees by private treaty.
  • A $50 deposit is required to schedule a clinic. The deposit will apply toward the hosting fee for the clinic .
  • Audit is $25 per person unless otherwise specified by clinic sponsor.
  • Private Individual instruction  $75 per hour and a half session
