Clinics

Dr. Babits offers clinics in classical dressage, alta escuela, doma vaquera, garrocha, long reins, and work in hand. One, two, and three-day clinics are offered. Most clinics will be held at her facility. A few select clinics may be offered nationally.

​

PRICE: Price will vary depending on the number of days the clinic is, and whether, for example, in a long rein clinic, Dr. Babits' stallions are used. Additionally, pricing will vary if travel away from her facility is involved. In order to reserve your space in a clinic, price must be paid in full before registration of the clinic closes, which will be posted on clinic announcements. 

​

Custom Packages

Custom packages for individuals (not groups) are available, enabling you to acquire the exacting education you are looking for. At the moment, these are conducted with your horse(s), not ours. For example, if you wish to come for a few days, perhaps having two lessons a day (for example, a long rein and a ridden lesson), be able to watch other horses work, and combine that with learning about podiatry (or other topics of interest), then this may be arranged. We can be as creative as possible to meet your needs.

​

PRICE: Price varies depending on number of days, lessons, and whether we are providing stabling, feed, and care for your horse, or whether you use one of our horses IF that is offered. At this time, we do not offer lodging for people, but do have stabling available for horses. Contact privately for information.
