Private Clinics    ~

Enjoy all that Satori has to offer in your exclusive, personalized, private 2~ to 5~day clinic! The horse will be matched to your skill level, build, and temperament to provide you the best learning experience we can. 

We'll begin at the beginning and proceed according to your pace, with each day building upon the preceding day.  You'll get information tailored specifically to your learning style and abilities. 

Each day starts with an hour of body awareness to prepare you for your optimal ride in the saddle.  You'll then have the afternoons to explore the Texas Hill Country or kick back and relax poolside at your hotel.
