Some comments from the Warwick Schiller September clinics:
I found Warwick to be extremely informative and knowledgeable. He was able to help any problems that people had and used an easy to understand way of explaining the message he wanted to get across. He really accentuated the importance of going back to the basics to improve even the most difficult maneuvers and how these basic maneuvers develop into an advanced level. - Catherine Ladd, North Waikato clinic

Warwick is a super and knowledgeable horse trainer with a great insight on how to get horses trained and willing to do their job with little or no assistance from the rider. - Mike Foster, Palmerston North clinic

Found him a really good trainer & his explanations were really easy to understand. I learnt heaps & would definitely go back to him. Thanks for organising the clinic. - Nikki Perrett, Palmerston North clinic

I found Warwick's methods like a "breath of fresh air". They were conceptually simple, and gentle, which I really liked. Over the last 3 years I have asked many trainers for help with communication issues with Sugar, and no-one else has achieved the responses like he did. - Sarah Clarke, Palmerston North clinic

One of the better clinics I've attended, very indepth and kept it very simple. - Dave Young, North Waikato clinic

I found the Warwick Schiller clinic very informative and helpful. The exercises Warwick set have already helped me with problems I have had. Many thanks. - Kristin Gribble-Bowring, North Waikato clinic

South Island - Reining Clinic with Rebecca Johnson
October Clinic
Date: 3 & 4 October 2009
Venue: Christchurch Club arena (Mandeville)

Comments from Becky's clinic
I came home from the clinic with solutions instead of problems - I now have a very clear picture of what I need to work on, how to work on it and what I'm aiming for. - Maria Van Den Bosch

Rebeccas recent clinic was completely appropriate for any complete novice reining horse or rider through to the more advanced. Her relaxed style of teaching and ability to meet each horse/rider combination at where they were at was very affirming and set the arena for a weekend of thorough and fun learning. I am especially pleased that rather than being bogged down with too much information I came away with some very clear excercises to carry on with at home. Thanks again. - Julie Wardle
