'26 Open Houses & CR Clinics

rsvp lynn@satoriconnections.com

Hi! I'm kind of waking up from hibernation! Just now considering the rest of the year. More will be added as we progress.

Open Houses

Come check it all out! You can experience Centered Riding concepts and ground lessons, Ortho-bionomy, Equine Positional Release, Zero Balancing and more.   The weekend Open Houses are 11a - 5p; the weekday Open Houses are 5p - 7p.
These will start in March 17! RSVP!   If no-one rsvps, I may be on a horse, I may be at the grocery store.
We'll begin with a quick overview of the 4 Basics + Grounding concluding with you expriencing these basics. For OB/EPR I'll demonstrate how to guide hooves into self-correcting themselves and perhaps do quick 1-2 minute (because that's all the time it takes!) OB self-corrections for people of hips, hands, or arms. And then some ZB chair balancing.
Attendees at this talk get $10 coupon for Open Centered Riding Clinics I teach this year. (2026)
Please rsvp via email lynn@satoriconnections.com or a fb invite.
CR Open Clinics

These are the foundation clinics! Also a little bit of a tour de force. You'll be presented with nearly all the basic Centered Riding concepts and given opportunities to learn how to know when you've achieved them.   These are full day clinics. Topics generally include:

Day 1, part 1 - The Basics, Following Seat, Following Hands
Day 1, part 2 - Steering, Positions left, right

Day 2, part 1 - Comfortable Trotting, Stride Modification
Day 2, part 2 - Putting it all together - lateral work, personal topics

If you can come Friday night, we generally have a free ride so you and your horse can get used to the property and begin to play with some concepts ahead of time.
Spots are limited!

Q & A

Are horses available?   -- It depends! If you need a horse, I have two horses depending upon weight/ability -- let's discuss.

Does my horse need to know CR? -- nope! You'll be learning to speak your horse's language.   They'll love you for it!

Can I audit? -- Yes! Auditors participate fully.

Is Centered Riding easy? -- It's simple, but not necessarily easy. Centered Riding does incorporate some of the best techniques for learning and incorporating new skills, though! So in a way, it's a lot easier and quicker to show positive results than traditional methods.

Note: the arena is an outdoor arena and the footing is 'manufactured sand' aka crushed caliche. To get the most out of this clinic, your horse needs to at least start, stop, steer, and walk in a small group setting. Most riding is done at the walk to allow riders a chance to integrate the usually new concepts. If you get it at the walk, of course you can trot! And if you get it at the trot, of course you can canter! Starting at the walk makes it easier to carry it into the other gaits, so that's the starting point. If your horse has foot issues and cannot walk in a paddock or field setting, please consider boots of some kind!
