Horsemanship Seminars, Clinics and Resources
Previous Horsemanship Clinics
My first journey to Ireland was about 7 years ago. I go annually and have presented at a number of places including Castle Leslie, Drumcoura Lake resort and Equestrian Center and others. My latest trip was August 2011, where I presented at the Game and Country Fair at Birr Castle and Demesne, as well as offering private and group sessions at Cochise Stud.
My coordinator in Ireland is Derek O'Byrne-White. Please contact him for details on my upcoming programs on the Emerald Isle. Better yet, check his Facebook Group for the latest news!
