Teacher Training October 2017 - - 50% of Full Participation Fee

$300.00
Train the Trainer: For those who aren't familiar with Mary's Teacher Trainings, they are a great way to gain a deeper understanding of why and how Mary's teaching methods work better than any other riding instruction method out there. It's a dynamic mix of learning theory, real-time rider assessment, teaching skills, language and imagery usage, and help with developing your eye to see what the rider really needs to work on next.

Whether you're an instructor yourself, or you just want to be able to understand the method so your own riding improves faster, you're welcome to participate. The only prerequisite is that you must have ridden with Mary in at least one 3-day riding clinic either this year or last year.

If you have never ridden with Mary, you can sign up to ride in the 3-day clinic which I'll be hosting immediately prior to the Teacher Training. The dates for that clinic are Oct 27, 28, 29. This will make you eligible to participate in the Teacher Training here, held Oct 31 to Nov 2, 2017.

Mary only does Teacher Trainings in this region once every 2 years, though she does do 3-day rider biomechanics clinics here twice a year.

Same as last time, the full fee is $600 to participate in the whole Teacher Training. Pay half ($300) to put your deposit in. Pay twice to pay in full.

Should you need to scratch from the Teacher Training, your deposit will only be refunded if your slot can be filled. I will do everything I can to make sure this happens, but cannot guarantee it.

Housing: 1 bed in shared room - 1 night

$30.00
The farmhouse we usually stay in is not available due to renovations and tenancy changes.

PLEASE indicate what dates you would like onsite housing for when you pay :)

I have rented an adorable apartment in Boyds, MD for a small number of people to stay in.

"The Nest", 20X30 top floor furnished room w/cathedral ceiling, window wall, spruce paneling, and carpeted flooring. Opens to deck in canopy of trees. Private entrance, FIOS high speed internet, tv w/ROKU streaming device, half bath & mini-fridge upstairs, shared kitchen/dining/laundry/shower, full fridge downstairs. Accommodates 4, full bed and sofa. Surrounded by nature's beauty. 10 forested acres and large kitchen/herb garden.

There will be a light breakfast served in the kitchen each morning, which will include coffee, tea, english muffins, yogurt, granola, milk and fresh fruit.

The second night of the clinic we always invite everyone attending to join us for dinner with Mary, usually at a local restaurant.

Onsite Stabling in a Stall - 1 night

$20.00
Due to my business, Heart of Riding LLC, running the clinic this year, there will not be enough staff to clean guest horse stalls each day. This means a price reduction from previous years!

You will be expected to clean your horse's stall. Wheelbarrows, pitchforks, water bucket brushes and brooms will be available for your use. You may use a wheelbarrow to get fresh bedding from our bulk bedding area.

Please leave the stall as clean as you found it after your horse is finished using it at the end of the clinic, with water buckets emptied and all hay removed from the stall.

We WILL be able to feed your horse breakfast, dinner, and hay that you provide. If there is paddock availability, we can put your horse out/bring it in at breakfast and/or dinner.

If we are feeding your horse your grain, the horse will not be fed unless EACH MEAL is labeled separately with your horse's name and what day/feed it's for. Example: "Comet - Sat AM". Grain must be kept in our feed room. Hay may be kept outside your horse's stall.

Similarly, we cannot give your horse hay without written instructions for how much hay at what time (and where the hay is) you want your horse to have. A whiteboard in the feed room will be available for this purpose.

Onsite paddock - 1 night

$10.00
We will have limited turnout in round pens or small paddocks for guest horses.

Horses in paddocks will have access to water 24/7. Some paddocks will have more grass than others: please speak with me as the clinic approaches to determine whether or not you will need to bring hay to supplement the grass available in your horse's paddock.

Horses in paddocks are welcome to use the barn crossties/wash stall for before or after lesson prep.

We WILL be able to feed your horse breakfast, dinner, and hay that you provide.

If we are feeding your horse your grain, the horse will not be fed unless EACH MEAL is labeled separately with your horse's name and what day/feed it's for. Example: "Comet - Sat AM". Grain must be kept in our feed room.

Similarly, we cannot give your horse hay without written instructions for how much hay at what time (and where the hay is) you want your horse to have. A white board in the feed room will be available for this purpose.

Auditor Ticket - 3 days

$90.00
For those who want to attend all three days, you get a discount.

This is absolutely the best way to experience a Ride With Your Mind clinic!

You get the language agreement on the first day, along with seeing where the horses and riders are starting.

You get to see the rider and horse make improvements and find their struggle points on the second day.

The third day you see a transformed horse and rider solidifying what works and discarding what doesn't.

The results are often unbelieveable - unless you've been watching the whole thing unfold over the course of the three days, and even then it's impressive!
