"Loved the CHC clinic I audited and plan on attending as many as possible. Loved being with like minded people, learning more about + R, and all the problem solving strategies. Such an uplifting experience! Melissa’s clinics focusing on relationship based connection, liberty interaction, and herd dynamics are very interesting and help me understand my horse and equine behavior."

"Melissa is a top notch horseman who can change the way you look at your horse forever. Her empathy towards the horse but also towards the human makes the material easier to absorb and implement yourself. Melissa takes her mission seriously and all who meet her benefit in ways that reveal themselves long after we’ve gone home!"
Jenn Foust
"Honestly, I always gain knowledge at the clinics - watching others, listening to others' questions, having you there to point things out in the moment etc. The atmosphere is always welcoming and so is everyone there. I truly just am in the moment and there to learn and enjoy the weekend, that's always my goal and I've always achieved it 😏"
Dr. LIbby Edwards
"After one clinic it’s so much easier to catch my horses and despite what I might do by accident in the trailer loading and hauling they are much more resilient than before!"
