Both clinics and private lessons are a great way to learn and grow, so both options are recommended! Clinics are designed to give students a big picture view of their event and provide a clear foundation for both horse and rider to build on. Private lessons are more personalized sessions focused on specific goals or concerns. While Clinics are always a great opportunity to improve, coming for private lessons after a clinic is the best way to solidify the information learned and receive more personalized coaching.
