semi-private
Subsequent Lessons $55/hour private, $50/person/hour semi-private (Prepaid packages

Kinetic Bodywork Lesson: Start with leading exercises
that get horse and handler in touch with their bodies, add work that improves suppleness

correct posture to minimize physical stress.

massage basics who want to expand their practice to include more subtle modalaties.
$55/hour private, $50/person/hour semi-private (Prepaid packages available at a

Riding Intensives:
Focused lessons that target your practice and perfection of specific riding skills. For
example, you might explore the biomechanics of the sitting trot, learn how easy lateral
work can be or ride correct transitions with ease. Instruction tailored to your individual
issues.
Private 3-hour intensive: $135 (Group rates no more than three riders
available on request)
Horseless Riding Lesson: A fascinating series of unmounted exercises that gives
riders of all ability levels the chance to experience postural and balance changes from
the point of view of the horse. And to receive verbal feedback, because the
"horse" in this exercise is a person.
Semi-private three-hour intensive: $85 per person (Group rates available on
request - limit 10 participants)
Equine
Sports Massage Session: Work with an experienced equine rehab
specialist and bodyworker to address your horse's issues, from general muscle tightness to
specific injury rehab.
$65 initial evaluation, $50 subsequent sessions (Prepaid packages available at a

Kinetic Bodywork Session: Combines
bodywork and movement to improve flexibility and suppleness, increase range of motion and
encourage correct balance and self-carriage. Think of this as yoga for horses!
$65/session
Note: All lesson fees quoted for riders/handlers providing their own horses. Some
facilities also require students to pay a use or haul-in fee. Use of school horses is
available in some locations for an additional fee. Be sure to inquire about these
additional fees and horse availability when you schedule your session.
Clinics
Desert Horse Equestrian Services invites
interested horse owners to organize clinics to explore and expand the ways
they ride and work with horses. Stacey will personally work with you to custom tailor a
clinic to your wants and needs. What about a one-day clinic that starts off with several
"horseless riding lesson" experiences to increase awareness of subtle shifts in
the rider's posture and movement, then an afternoon spent putting that new knowledge to
practice in the saddle? Or a two-day clinic that includes bodywork and groundwork to
improve horses' flexibility and self-carriage, plus mounted work that allows riders to
feel the benefits of the unmounted work? The choices are only limited by the amount of
time you and your friends want to spend learning interesting new concepts and practices!
