The Six Keys to Harmony are easy to understand techniques for establishing leadership, respect, and trust with your horse and achieving independent movement of each body part with light responses from your horse on the ground and mounted. You will understand how your horse perceives the ideas you present to him and how to communicate with him in the way he communicates with other horses.

In this clinic you will discover how horses were trained and ridden when excellence in horsemanship and riding was fervently pursued as an art form, truly understood and highly revered.  This style of fluid and refined riding is sympathetic to the horse in the separation of the aids and lightness of the cues.

Both you and your horse would greatly benefit from the clinic experience. Much of what you'll learn and what you'll be teaching your horse during the weekend centers around safety, communication and developing your leadership position in your relationship with your horse.

If you've always wanted to work cattle with your horse but didn't know how to start, this clinic is for you!  No previous cow work or roping experience is necessary.  This clinic is open to any type of horse.  English or Western riders of all ages and skill levels are welcome. 

In this clinic, we will work on trail safety, emergency preparedness, interval, approaching other riders, passing other riders, trail etiquette, riding with vehicle traffic and negotiating obstacles. 

When you send your horse to us for training, your horse will have a solid foundation and impeccable manners. Our program uses gentle communication and absolutely no violence or rough handling. A relationship of mutual respect and trust is built between horse and human.

Our staff of enthusiastic, well trained, patient instructors are able to present lessons to our youth students on their level and in a way that is definitely fun! Students will learn how to catch, groom, saddle and ride our gentle, well trained horses. Our emphasis is on teaching how to build a relationship with the horse through good communication and proper use of the aids. Our program includes the Six Keys to Harmony ground work and developing a secure, balanced seat. Riders will start in our indoor arena then progress to our obstacle course (horse playground) and to trail riding.

After their fabulously successful and highly acclaimed performance at the Equine Affaire in Springfield Massachusetts in November our professional drill team was immediately invited to perform again at the Equine Affaire in Columbus Ohio April 12 - 15, 2018.  This is the largest and most well attended horse expo in the United States!  Contact Diamond D Cowgirls to book their performance at your next event.

After using the Patience Pole at our training facility, we are pleased to endorse this sturdy, high quality, well designed product.  It has helped the horses we have in training to relieve any anxiety they may have associated with standing tied.  They are free to move around so they don't feel trapped or restricted.  By using the Patience Pole horses are able to calmly learn to stand tied patiently.
