clinics with k. clarke equine
Clinics focus on horse and rider biomechanics and the use of balls, bands, tools, and imagery to help change neurocognitive behaviors in horse & riders. Clinics apply to all levels and disciplines and can be focused on challenges the rider is facing or challenges the horse is facing. Kendra brings years of experience in upper-level dressage, hunter/jumpers, and western, allowing for a well-rounded approach amongst the knowledge gained in her certifications.
about our clinics
Clinics can be scheduled any day of the week, and multiple days are encouraged. There is the option to add a lecture (most commonly the night before the start of the clinic) that can be done in person (most common) or via Zoom with a variety of topics.
Clinics may be hosted at your facility (travel fees may apply) or onsite at our facility. Please note, if you are interested in booking a workshop or clinic with our Racewood Eventing Simulator, Blue, those may only be booked on site at our facility in Kitnersville, PA.

clinic types
Riding simulator Workshops
Our newest addition to the team, Blue, is a Racewood Eventing Simulator who allows riders the opportunity to work on themselves without needing to think about the horse. Blue is capable of all of the Grand Pix dressage movements, jumps up to 3 feet, and has countless sensors to aid in analyzing how a rider is moving.
Workshops on Blue are located in Kitnersville PA and are open to any rider of any level/discipline who is under 210 lbs and over 12 years old. In the workshops "Enhancing Rider Biomechanics" seen on our calendar, Kendra will cater each session to the needs of the group. This allows for Kendra to go in any direction needed, including the use of balls, bands, groundwork, and so much more to help riders with all sorts of challenges. Any rider can benefit from Blue, regardless if the challenges are physical or mental.
Email Kendra if you would like to set up a private workshop for you and your students, trainers are highly encouraged to attend with their students.
Unmounted Rider Biomechanics
Much like the Horseless Mounted Clinics, these clinics focus on movement, biomechanics, and what is or isn't happening in participants' bodies. These clinics involve a wide variety of exercises on the ground to isolate and activate bodies.
Participants will discuss with Kendra what challenges they are having under saddle. Kendra will pull from her countless exercises to best suit the topics and exercises of the group. Homework is often given, and participants are encouraged to take what they learned from these clinics and put it into their daily lives to improve their riding.
These clinics aim to be challenging and thought-provoking, while giving participants tools that directly improve their riding from the ground. Riding time after this clinic is an option.
Logistics for this clinic: Driving travel fees are incurred for any off-site clinics. Fee is dependent on distance from Pipersville, PA.
Mounted Clinics specializing in horse and/or rider biomechanics
With Kendra's wide scope of knowledge in horse and rider biomechanics, these clinics can be customized to specific topics, or, Kendra will assess each horse and/or rider for what is currently presented to her.
Topics include but are not limited to the biomechanics of: improving the walk, posting trot, sitting trot, the following seat, jump position, flight and jump style of the horse, pelvic motion, spinal motion, following the canter, the horse's movement at any gait and level, and much more.
When organizing this clinic, let Kendra know what challenges you have been facing in your riding or with your horse and she will create a plan for you. These clinics often involve an unmounted assessment of the rider and can tie in both types of clinics mentioned earlier.
LOGISTICS FOR THIS CLINIC: DRIVING TRAVEL FEES ARE INCURRED FOR ANY OFF-SITE CLINICS. FEE IS DEPENDENT ON DISTANCE FROM PIPERSVILLE, PA.

"Kendra is a fantastic instructor who thrives when it comes to explaining things to her students in a way that makes sense and is applicable to real life."
"Riding with her I have been able to fix years worth of bad habits and feel more confident in my own riding ability. I currently am lucky enough to be riding Giselle a super powerful and talented mare who makes me feel as though I’m flying. Kendra had given me so much confidence through her teachings and her belief in my riding abilities I truly feel as though with her help I will be able to conquer anything."

"I have a horse who forces us to think outside the box, and Kendra had done that and more!"
"In a year with her she has taken our partnership to a new level and helped me bring Goose from an easygoing but often hard-headed and ring sour horse to an animal who is light, responsive, and nicer than I could have imagined. I highly recommend Kendra for any training needs!"
