Melanie Smith Taylor and Mindy Bower are pleased to announce the formation of TaylorMade Horsemanship Clinics. TMH was initially envisioned and designed many years ago in Germantown, Tennessee by Lee Taylor. Melanie and Mindy have now created and made this program a reality within your reach for participation.

TaylorMade Horsemanship is designed to provide a mutually beneficial symbiosis between the lessons of ground work and all equestrian disciplines. Groundwork incorporates all the principles of good horsemanship the same as when mounted. This foundation is fundamental to all equestrian endeavors. It helps us understand and value the pursuit of quality in everything we do with the horse. You cannot just strive for quality in the show ring or during an afternoon ride. It must permeate every interaction you have with your horse, no matter what the venue. Success and winning are the result of this constant commitment to build and practice good habits… from the ground up.

This will be a wonderful opportunity for participants of all ages to be immersed in a four day clinic where they will learn aspects of horsemanship and groundwork not readily available. The program, referred to as Horsemanship I, has been designed to introduce the riders and horses through groundwork that will lead to incorporating the groundwork into the saddle for flatwork, gymnastics, course work, and the penultimate horsemanship test in the saddle. A true culmination of being educated not only in the barn through stable management by experts in the field and various specialty presentations, but through some of the most sought after clinicians. A careful selection of professionals makes this program one of the best. It will be an exceptional acumen to your already existing training program and will certainly better your connection with the horse.
