August 22 & 23, 2026
Leatherwood Mountain Resort - 512 Meadow Road, Ferguson, NC 28624
Using Obstacles to Build & Strengthen the Horse/Human Relationship
At first glance, this clinic may look like it’s about obstacles—but the obstacles are just the setting. The real focus is the relationship between you and your horse. In this two-day clinic at Leatherwood Mountains Resort, Robbie Potter will guide riders through a series of obstacle-based exercises designed to develop communication, trust, and feel with their horses. Obstacles give us clear moments to notice how our horses respond, where the communication breaks down, and how we can improve our leadership and clarity.
This clinic is not about rushing through obstacles or seeing who can complete them the fastest. Instead, the goal is to help horses and riders learn to work together with greater understanding, patience, and trust. Riders of many levels are welcome, and the lessons learned here will apply far beyond the obstacle course.
Riders will learn how to:
Improve communication through the reins, seat, and legs
Build confidence and relaxation in their horse
Recognize and address hesitation, tension, or misunderstanding
Use obstacles as tools for better timing and feel
Develop a stronger relationship that carries over into everyday riding
