Alfonso Aguilar travels to Europe twice a
year. He usually stays there two months at a time to set up the course
program. The program usually consists of two consecutive day clinics,
where theory and “hands-on” practice are offered. Every
student attends with his/her own horse. These clinics cover horsemanship
training techniques for the beginner as well as the advanced student.
The techniques taught are useful in any type of riding style (western,
English, dressage, etc.) Also offered are clinics specialized in western
riding, cattle work, reining, cutting, double reins, lasso, character
and towing problem solving, etc.
For
all his courses Alfonso’s motto is…
“Above all else, have fun. And at the same time,
you will learn.”
The skill level or style that one has is not important.
Alfonso creates an environment where the horse is allowed to express
his own nature. Only then can we understand the horse and are able to
help him better understand what we want from him. We want the horse
to feel comfortable with us and at the same time he will be able to
push himself for us. The horse will then become a content and secure
companion. At the end of the program we hope to create a trusting relationship
between human and his horse.
