trusted ProSix advisor
As a trainer, I have found that when ProSix is used regularly throughout the stages of rehabilitation (unmounted and mounted), the horses maintain and gain muscle. It is also key to supporting lower limb injuries, increasing abdominal and topline muscling for treating/managing kissing spine, and increasing overall proprioception.
EQ Active user
EQ Active makes it simple and quick for equine & equestrian rehabilitation practitioners to create professional exercise programs for both horse and rider. When you work with K. Clarke Equine, we may incorporate the EQ Active software to help track progress and share exercises you can work on outside of our lessons and sessions.
ATHLETIC RIDERS CREATE ATHLETIC HORSES
Our horses are expected to perform at the best of their abilities.
That is no different for riders.

Simulator Lesson Scholarship application
I believe everyone should have access to the benefits of equestrian simulator training, regardless of financial circumstances. If the cost of lessons is a barrier, I offer a scholarship fund to help cover the cost of simulator sessions. Scholarships are granted on a case-by-case basis and are determined by individual need.
