Celeste Lazaris and Dr. Rachel Heart Bellini present -
The Well Adjusted Horse Collaborative Clinic
***POSTPONED DUE TO HEAT & SMOKE - CHECK BACK FOR UPDATED DATES!***
A restorative clinic for both horse and rider, centered around spinal biomechanics.
We will be taking four special pairs through an intimate journey of gently looking at everything from the foundation of the body to attunement in training.
​
Clinic participants are welcome to have their health care support team join them at no extra cost: Trainer, Veterinarian, Farrier, etc.
We will also be accepting four clinic apprentices.
These will be non-horse participants that will be shadowing and learning from both Dr. Rachel and Celeste on their process through gently unwinding and restoring each pair.

10am-6pm: Saturday sessions will begin with nerve release that will serve as both a healing modality as well as a diagnostic tool to explore gaps in the horses training and relationship to connection. Once those have been gently mapped out, Celeste will take the horse through restoring these pieces with both in-hand and under saddle exercises to allow the horse to find healing. Dr. Bellini will then take each horse after each session to further explain the changes she is seeing from a Veterinarian perspective. Sessions will be approximately 1 hour.
