INTENSIVES
Private Intensives at Honey Brook Stables are a two day, one on one, fully customized learning experience to reach your riding goals.
During your Private Intensive, you will be working with our local instructor, Kaitlyn McGarvey, and our stellar group of school horses, with each horse carefully chosen to help solve a specific problem you’ve been having or teach the skill you need for the next level of riding.

CLINICS
Take your learning to the next level by attending the hands on clinic to get personal feedback and critique after an online course.
What makes our clinics different is that we have a barn full of experienced lesson horses for you to come and learn with.
Also, the related online course is a pre-requisite to our clinics, meaning we can go deeper during these in person events.

Learning from Kaitlyn was everything that I hoped it would be. As a relatively green rider, I seemingly had a lot of “random and unconnected instructions” whirling about in my mind while riding. Kaitlyn listened to what I was currently learning, where I felt stuck, and what I hoped my next riding step might be. From this, she was able to fashion two days of adapted Q & A sessions and in-dept explanations and demonstrations of certain
pre-ride activities that build the kind of connection (like In-Hand work) so important to the level of riding I hoped to achieve. Then, once I saw and understood the desired movements from the ground, I was able to achieve them while riding one of her highly- trained, and particularly well-suited, school horses. In short, Kaitlyn is that rare instructor who could meet me where I was, induce mental clarity, and then pair those “Ah Ha” mental moments with rides designed to achieve my next goal; all while instilling greater confidence in me as a rider and horsewoman. Thank you, Kaitlyn and CRK Training!
Thank you again for the wonderful lessons. I practiced some of the things you taught me on my lease horse today. What a difference! Everything is so much easier when I get it right. I know the horse appreciated it too!You are an excellent instructor and I can’t wait to come back for my other lessons. I purchased Wendy’s book like you suggested. I haven’t had time to read through it all, but I can see that it will be a big help also.
I take weekly lessons and have felt my riding skills improving due to the excellent instruction that I receive from Kaitlyn. My horse, though not green, had some gaps in her education, and Kaitlyn has been doing training rides with her, with noticeable improvements. What has been the most helpful is that Kaitlyn has been educating me to be both a better rider and trainer for my own horse.
Just wanted to thank you both again for a the BRC clinic. I loved everything about it. It was sequenced perfectly.
Wendy’s teaching was a great set up for riding, and I could see how each of us put that into practice so well.
The Trash Can Horse was awesome, so creative. I would have liked more of your horse behavior talk, and hope you will be doing more of that. Julia, you are always so present and generous and supportive. You are quite a team. Just a thought, would be great to have some ground work, lungeing included in a clinic sometime!
Thank you both for your great and generous spirits.
I had an amazing time! The facility is amazing, as well as the staff. I felt comfortable to leave my horse in good hands overnight. The group of ladies that participated were so fun, and I learned so much just listening and taking part of the clinic. Very organized and punctual. Cost was minimal and well worth the event. Food was excellent. The clinician Wendy Murdoch is absolutely amazing...I feel privileged to of had the opportunity to work with her. Looking forward to future clinics and events at CRK. So impressed with the clinicians you host and the staff and facilities.
